MY Arctic Challenge 09
£6000 raised for British Heart Foundation
All team members returned without incident from a week long arctic survival excercise. Gerard McHenry, Glenn Murphy, Darren Murphy and James Morrish (left to right in picture) all lived in the exposed Arctic tundra under the guidance of ex UK and Swedish special forces. Temparatures 'only' dropped to -30degC; cold enough when you're sleeping in a snow trench (or 'snow grave' as they are known). The team were introduced to native Sami reindeer herders and the ancient techniques involved from catch to cooking. There was also successful ice fishing and the delights of Lichens. A crash course in cross country skiing kept the team mobile and they even made the final ski out down a frozen river and lake in record time. A total of £6000 was pledged for the British Heart Foundation for which the team is extremely grateful - thanks to everyone that pledged - every penny will go to BHF.
