Day 75, End of An Era...

Hello it is day 76 and my final blog from Antarctica. I must firstly apologise as I have slept for almost a day so did not do the blog yesterday.

The team is now safe in Novo and we are preparing all the equipment for a long winter. We have successfully traversed the continent twice and in the middle of the trip driven out top the Pole of Inaccessibility! This has been the longest expedition in the history of Polar exploration as well as a first in 4 x 4 and 6 x 6 vehicles. We were the first adventurers to arrive at the South Pole and the last to leave this season.

It has been a huge success and privilege to commemorate Sir Robert Falcon Scott and his team this year with such an array of activities. I am proud of each and every individual involved and want to thank everyone. From the team in the UK to our Russian partners we have achieved so much in one season my head is still spinning. It simply demonstrates that if you are passionate about what you do and have the right attitude you can accomplish anything, and I mean anything.

EWR will continue to push the boundaries of human achievement in every area from politics to adventure from all corners of the Earth to space…yes space! We will seek to inspire millions of people to do something to help our civilisation and our planet. Mother Nature is simply affording us the time to change our ways and attitude. If we do not then I feel She will do something herself which she has demonstrated so graphically in the past few years.

This is the first of many blogs that I will be writing about Extreme World Races adventures. The next adventure and inaugural race will take place during this coming March in the wastelands of Siberia at Lake Baikal, the Black Ice Race...

Inspire someone today!!
