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.

Aha, I knew I read it on here somewhere, dunno if this is better though.

zondagirl · April 27th, 2007, 11:35 AM

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.

Wohoo, an all girls thread so far... Are they gonna do a 2 ep race? Sounds like a huge ordeal for 1 hour of TV...

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.

Yeah sounds a bit too long to be honest. There's nothing to see or to do...everything's white and frozen

zondagirl · April 27th, 2007, 01:27 PM

But there a big nasty polar bears, HUGE holes to fall down, engines not starting, sled dogs getting poorly, polar blizzards, white outs..... quiet alot I think.

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.

zondagirl · April 27th, 2007, 08:54 PM

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

Cymraes · April 28th, 2007, 12:29 AM

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!

Jezzabelle · April 28th, 2007, 08:27 PM

Zondagirl, I love you!! Thanks for the insider info, and PLEASE can you tell your source to take extra care of Jeremy for me. I need him back in one piece!

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!

You're right... should I get the skidoo and the traps out? We could get in some quality hockey and ice fishing while we're up there. images/smilies/lol.gif
