A very interesting challenge by a team, including Andy.
From the website, the aims are:-
"One hundred and seventeen years have past since Nansen's first epic crossing of the mighty Greenland ice cap, a distance of over 600 km, yet even today this journey is still viewed as a mammoth undertaking, requiring strength, fortitude and toughness in order to succeed.
The Hands and Feet expedition is attempting to cross this vast empty artic desert in the same spirit as Nansen, hoping to push back the modern-day frontiers of knowledge, technology and exploration.
The focus of this journey, and the driving force behind the expedition, is 33 year old Karen Darke, one of the UK's top disabled adventures, paralysed from the chest since a climbing fall while at university."
