Rob & James have started their epic journey from the North Pole (after some 15 days of delays).

They were held up by bad weather and so had to get to the starting point by dog sled and are now underway.

As you can see it is a tad cold and they have just reported that they needed to make a short swim! to cross some open water.. 

“You don’t have to be mad to do this, but it helps”  comes to mind as a quote.

 As you can see from the map there is a long way to go.  For more information look here. www.180degrees.com
