Testimonials:
“Hi Richard,
it’s great to hear that from someone who knows what it is really like out there. While on the ice we often wondered how on earth you and Mikhail managed the return trip, we were done when we finished. It’s a week on and we are still both wiped out (hence the late reply), all our great plans for after the trip on hold until we have recovered. We are very much in awe of everything you have achieved on the ice and congrats particularly on the super fast trip this year, 41 days is very quick.
Thank you to you and Josée for all your help and advice over the last year, we know that we wouldn’t have made it without that. It was a daunting challenge to take on but I think our training over the previous two years was well thought out and gave us the necessary skills to tackle the Arctic with a fair shot at making it. Hitting Barneo in time was largely a function of taking limited food rations (and hence losing weight) to to reduce the weight of the pulks and working off four hours sleep a night for the last five weeks so we could do more hours of skiing.”

“Richard’s advice was totally invaluable in our quest to reach the North Pole unsupported. His knowledge of the whole expedition package from preparation to food to gear to travel is second to none!”
