And the weather's too warm at the Antarctic?!

With over 50km into the expedition the team is now well on their way, and getting into routines which will help them reach their goal in good time.

The weather has been "fantastic and beautiful" with some halo phenomenon including various sun halos appearing during the 18km stint the team managed yesterday. With external temperatures reaching an incredible 4°C above zero the group would appear to be blessed with what can only be described as the the Great British Weather. A pity then that these high temperatures could cause issues for the team. Bryony was forced to take more rest breaks due to overheating! The biggest issue in the Antarctic is trying to keep out the cold, but issues can also arise if any of the team get too hot. Being too hot causes sweating, which will conduct heat far better than air within the many layers of clothes, allowing heat to easily be leached from the body and cause hypothermia. During skiing the team have been removing their outermost layers to avoid such problems, putting them on when they stop to rest.

When asked how difficult it is to pull heavy pulks all day, Bryony answered, "You don't notice it really. We have stops every hour and a half for a rest and food, and after that it's just head down. It seems to fly by, just white, blue and sunny all the time!"

Lets hope the weather cools (only a little) and the team keep up the good progress so far!
