Southpoleflag due to arrive at checkpoint tonight

The team is now only a few hours away from the check point. The guys have slipped into 4th place but are putting in a huge effort to reach the check point tonight. So far they have performed brilliantly, easily making the cut-off times for each day and handling the terrain and severe conditions really well. We hope to be able to broadcast an interview with the team at some stage over the next few days. You can post your messages of support on the Face Book site.
