Mission Spiritus
Former marines Alan Chambers and Dave Thomas have arrived at the South Pole after 58-days on the ice. Up against mixed weather, days of zero visibility, soft snow, and -40 degree headwinds, Alan and Dave clocked up to 28km/day on a sledge full of Firepot meals, bolstered with extra veg from our Dorset kitchen. They have been collecting important snow samples for Columbus University to research how airborne nanoplastics are affecting the remotest parts of our planet. Dave turned 68 last month, making him the oldest person to ski across Antarctica, unsupported.

North West Passage Expedition

Leven Brown and his crew have set off from Baffin Island to row 2,500 miles through the North-West Passage in a single season: the last great 'first' in ocean rowing. An expedition steeped in history, they have with them a descendent of Sir John Franklin and have recently taken shelter at Fort Ross, an old trading outpost visited by explorers of the past. Read more about the expedition here.

Run Pyrenees
In his latest solo adventure, British endurance runner, Jamie Ramsay, has been following the 'Haute Route' along the crest of the Pyrenees to the Atlantic Coast. While most people hiking the route complete it in 44 days, Jamie aims to finish in 18, meaning 40km days. No stranger to ultra-events, more challenging for Jamie will be the 42,000m in vertical ascent - 4.5x the height of Everest. He has chosen 24 Firepot meals to get him to the top of each peak.

1000 miles on a paddleboard
Straight off the river from the mighty Yukon1000 race are stand-up paddleboarders Martin Rendle and Kim Foster. Forming one of just two teams from the UK to compete in this canoe race, which runs through the Canadian Arctic Circle and finishes in Alaska through some extremely remote territory, the two of them completed their course in 9 days, 7 hours and 27 minutes. They were interviewed by SUP FM about their race prep before they set off.
