Hanging around part two (day 8)

unbelievable... there was a chance we might fly today this morning but there is, believe it or not, a north pole marathon, 40 "Runners" are due to run at barneo. they all arrived a few days ago the run was supposed to be run on Wednesday but with the delays they were stuck along with us. the long and short of it we have been bounced off the plane by them, we were first in the queue, they left this morning in a hurry and we are still here, so guess what we are still waiting..... 8 days.............. maybe tonight?alan is doing his best.

    Admire your composure, really do. All this waiting is giving me wind.........Rather imagine that once you are underway, the solitude of the ice and the companionship of your little group will be most welcome. XXXX Cuz & Cuz-in-law

    The silence of your blog indicated something was up so good to hear from Ed today that you are on your way to the Pole. This must be a huge relief to you and your team mates. Just hope you have all been able to put delay behind you and can now enjoy - ENJOY ??? - the trek. May the wind be at your back - and not in the tent. Onward dear Cuz XXXX

    Forwarded from P&C: Dearest Jad - hiena. What an incredible adventure. Praying that radio silence means that you are now on your way with no P. Bears and plenty of positive drift. Thinking of you Pete and Clo.
