Dear Polecats, first off I would like to thank you for the lecture that you gave to our Sixth Form back in October (19th) last year. It gave us great insight to the Scott Dunn Polar challenge and what you would be getting up to. Secondly, We would all like to congratulate you on such an amazing result in the challenge. Good Luck for the future ahead. Seamus McDonagh, 17, Ryde School, IOW

Just back from 2 weeks in Spain hence no contact recently. Very many congratulations on a really fantastic result and particularly on that awesome final 36 hours. Look forward to hearing the stories - it must have been an amazing experience. Very many thanks for all you have done for BSES in the process both for publicity and fund raising. Look forward to having the opportunity to thank you properly soon. Will says you were looking ready to do it all again next week when you arrived back in London - unlike other teams. Congratulations and best wishes. See you soon Roy

I found something else to distract me from my exam revision...following you 3 traipsing around in the arctic. My sincere best wishes. Love the sponsorship name by the way! 'A journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step'...and I think getting to the start line is probably the largest step of all! Congratulations so far. Justin Gould

Hi there Pole Cats! Guess you're on the ice now, so hope it's all going well so far. Wanted to wish you all the very best for the race. Enjoy it, take it easy and remember, it'll be worth every minute of the struggle for just five minutes of living out the conclusion. Good luck girls! From Jon and all at Tunu Adventures

Kym Walker writes on 2005-04-13 21:25:50:

What you are all about to undertake makes my marathon training look like a walk in the park! What an inspiration you all are. Whatever happens, you have already succeeded. Keep together, keep talking, keep walking and take one step at a time! GOOD LUCK :-)

emily vaughan writes on 2005-04-12 13:29:14:

Dear girls. Living with Tors, I've seen it all - the trials and tribulations of getting the money together, the organising of events, the tyres for training, the diet food, sewing logos on at 2am, the never-ending amount of kit - You name it! I also have a pretty good idea of the guts and determination you three have. I think what you're doing is amazing. So don't let the cold get you down. Go for it! (And please don't bring all your kit back to the house!!!) I'll be thinking of you, EM xx

Mike Gilding writes on 2005-04-11 21:03:41:

Just to wish you the very best of luck. With Felicity's tea and Sam's chatter you will do wonderfully.

Victoria Humphries writes on 2005-04-11 20:34:43:

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! Pink Ladies - makes you sound like something from Grease! I am going to say a mega good luck. Look after yourselves and just remember that if Scott had done an extra 10 steps each day, he would have got to the south pole first (or something like that). Also don't 'fight' the arctic (like many men do), just go with the flow and ENJOY.

Yvonne Lee writes on 2005-04-11 20:30:16:

I heard you on the radio today! (Though what I was doing listening to Radio Kent, I have no idea.) I just want to wish you, Tori and Sam the very best of luck for the race, and I hope you win. Have a fantastic time in the Arctic, and watch out for chillblains!

Hylton James (Team Polaris) writes on 2005-03-30 10:45:19:

Hi you three, Well done on the new sponsor !!! Very happy for you all. Only 13 days to go and counting - see you soon ! Cheers, Hylt (Team Polaris)

Neil writes on 2005-03-14 10:07:18:

Good luck - you're certainly highly entertaining when trying to tie ropes round tyres in a Bracknell car park. Neil

wendy and ginger writes on 2005-03-12 13:46:29:

from the frozen depths of spain (needless to say worst for 50 years when we are here) wish you every success and a bit warmer weather than we are having for your next adventure. lots of love from us both.

Rosemary Cooke writes on 2005-03-06 11:54:03:

Enjoyed watching you training on Camber Sands this morning, in the closest to Arctic weather conditions the south east of England can produce! It did at least try to snow. Good Luck with your adventure and I look forward to following your progress!

David Burkitt writes on 2005-02-09 09:42:00:

A couple of friends and I bought some raffle tickets from you on Saturday in Cardiff, before a Gavin Henson sock incident and a taxi trip to the Bay. I'm not sure I grasped the sheer gravity of your challenge at the time and now having read your website I wanted to say that your ambition and determination is inspiring, and I to wish you the best for the event. Good luck.
