JeremyBased on... no knowledge at all, we decided to push on in our three ton truck.
JeremyAnd please, do not write to us about drinking and driving. Because I'm not driving, I'm sailing.
JeremyThe fact is, though, that two middle-aged men, deeply unfit and mostly drunk, had made it, thanks entirely to the incredible machine that took us there. They said we'd never get to the Pole because of the damage the car has already done to the ice cap. Perhaps then that's what we've proved most of all, really.
