D4H Goes Arctic with North Star 2010





CAMBRIDGE, UK - In 142 days time, two British explorers Fran Middleton and Mustard Robley will cross 1800km of Greenland Icecap in an estimated 40 day unsupported expedition North Star 2010. They intend to man-haul sleds or ‘pulks’ with backcountry skis on to the top of the ice-cap and then switch to snow-kites and downhill skis to complete the crossing using as much wind power as possible. Tent, cooking equipment, gun, and food will all be contained in their pulks and towed behind as they ski.

Decisions For Heroes is the website sponsor of the expedition, and as we've tested on the ice-cap previously, we will be linking up the explorers Satellite Phone to D4H technology and tools. Not only does this make for a really interesting test of our capability - but we get to entertain all of you with exclusive live updates from the ice-cap over a 40 day emotional experience. Expect to hear lots about the expedition once they set off next Spring.

Our expedition t-shirt arrived today, and it's really great to see our logo up there with international brands like Rab and Osprey who have provided arctic equipment and clothing.



Would you like a personal postcard from Greenland? The lads will send a personal written Postcard to everyone who donates £10 or more to the expedition.

All donations to the expedition will be split for 50/50 between the expeditions and the Ali Rainback fund
