We made it and I am on the way home

Reached the North Pole on 28th April at 0159.  Although we (Polar Slugs) were first over the line and completed the 350 miles 17 hours quicker than any others, it seems we may have been given wrong check point info and gone to the wrong place and therefore come in at 2nd place!  Been incredible experience. From - 45, 50 kt winds, storm bound, frost nipped nose and fingers, wind burnt face, NO blisters, 34 days and nights in a tent - no washing a 3 pairs pants!  Rock and roll.  Has it changed me?  No idea - you tell me!

Have a look at this and more to follow:
