cas and jonesy return crossing to the south pole

  • anyone noticed these two? the ones who kayaked across the tasman. they have just about completed an unsupported return crossing to teh pole. self propelled. just pipped as a world first by a norwegian called Gamme they have lost about twenty five kilos each, on their last food...
  • yeah, a good mate of mine knows them well, rock climbs with them - they are certainly extreme!!!
  • the norwegian is extremely experienced at hauling heavy sledges over snow. crossed greenland several times... looks like they were beated by the best... bad timing... the norwegian got a days lead on them, but he was consistently covering more miles every day and just pulled away...
  • Still, they did it.
