[SPOLIER] Polar Race

********SPOILER*********images/smilies/smile.gif


Hi

Just had an update from the polar challenge team in Resolute, Alaska.

Guys from Top Gear left today (Friday) for their challenge. Jeremy wasn't to happy about the conditions, the thaw has started (though not enough to have any real affect), but Josh (Polar Race organiser) said that they should have done it earlier in the year, but he wishes them well.

I'm not sure how long the race would take, but by foot it will take about 2 weeks there and back.

Yes that's right, but I have a newsletter emailed to me daily with the actual Polar Race information, Top Gear guys are just tagging along.... This news was of this morning. Resolute, Alaska is GMT -7 hours. So this is hot of the press, so to speak.

Hi Buba

I don't know about that, but I shoudl imagine they will edit, edit and edit..... I know for instance Richard has been there since 18th April and Jeremy and James since the 19th, I don't think they will sure all the boring bits like cold weather training/exercises... probably do a bit but mostly the race etc.

So the 'bumping into polar bears' comment on jezza's column was true!

Thank you for creating another thread that helps pass the time between seasons.

Yep that's true. In Richards column the replacement hasn't said anything to give the plot away.

This sounds really intriguing. So I'm assuming that this is the expedition Jezza was on about in his column that he had to lose weight for.

Sounds really tough. Can't wait to see it on TV. Thanks for letting us know, zondagirl!

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and guess that this is for their summer special. In which case, seeing them freezing in the Arctic ought to cool/heat a few heads, hehe!

Just hope they come back safely!
