HOMEWARD BOUND - Tues 26th May

The team spent the bank holiday weekend learning and observing the community rituals of the Inuit population in Isotorq. The team were able to watch how they hunt, cook and the methods they use to survive in the harsh Greenland environment. Chloe said that is was fascinating to observe and that they all felt very privileged to have been able to live amongst such an amazing community.

Today they are leaving Greenland behind and making their way back to Iceland before flying home to London tomorrow evening.  They will be staying in Reykjavik for the evening and are looking forward to painting the town red after receiving some good tips on local bars from another expedition team.

They want to send a massive thank you to all their sponsors whose amazing support made the trip possible. All their sponsors can be found under the sponsors page on this site and each service/product provided has been invaluable to the expedition. We are not able to mention them all in the blog due to space constraints however to mention a few,   RAB and Finisterre provided exceptional clothing that kept the team warm in the harsh snowstorms. Expedition foods provided their tasty food - they now have a list of top favourites so if anyone is looking for advice on the best tasting freeze dried food you know where to come. Animus and Mule Bars provided additional food supplements that kept the team energised through out. As the mule bars were so effective in providing an energy boost,  Chloe decided to create a new tag line for them - “If you want a kick up the ass, refuel with a Mule bar” ( you can tell they spent a long time stuck in the tent!).

They would also like to thank everyone again for all their messages of support and entertainment, they were invaluable for keeping the team spirit up through out the expedition. The team are on their normal phones from tonight if anyone would like to contact them before their return.

Although the expedition has come to an end and the daily blogs will be no more, keep your eyes on this space as Chloe will be writing a final blog on their return, as they have lots more stories and experiences to share that they were not able to convey in detail on the Sat phone.
