The expedition
Cold Feat is a four strong amateur expedition aiming to walk the 625 nautical miles (693 imperial miles) from Hercules Inlet, at the edge of the Antarctic, to the South Pole during 2003. The Oxfordshire based team have selected to donate all funds raised to Cancer Research UK. They are aiming to raise One Million Pounds. As it is a charity event, the team would appreciate the advice and help of anyone interested. Feel free to get in touch.
