    I am delighted that you have all arrived safely,and I hope that the expedition is a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. However if, as I suspect, Sam has inadvertently taken the TV remote control with him can someone encourage him to press the Channel 3 button before 9 O'clock as I was hoping to watch Car Crime UK.

    Your a week in and we still haven't had a postcard. But best wishes anyway Sam from Kenny Hobday, Bob Catchpole and all the lads at the East Smethwick branch of the Society for the advancement of global cultural exchange through the medium of international darts.

    I have been looking at the expedition map provided on the blog on Monday 27th. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but in the expedition base camp area there is a large green tent the size of Billy Smarts Circus.

    Hey Kag! You'll be pleased to know that you're not missing out on the good weather, but Mum and Cal are insisting on heading out into the hills over the next few days anyway. Nutters! Mind you, at least they're not braving the arctic seas... ;P

    Missing you! Love from all of us. See you in two and a half weeks! xxx

    Hello team, Sam in particular.
    I was doing some studies lately and something quite serious came to my attention.
    Most people will tell you that the average glacier has a max speed of 2-3 metres a day. However, recent tests now tell us that this speed has increased to 2-3 miles a day. This puts you in imminent danger.
    Using google maps I have discovered that your base camp appears less than 10 miles from the glacier. In four days you will be under a sheet of ice.
    Sam, save yourself. And your pen knife.
