Anxious to be on their way and make sure they make the Pole the teams have opted for a 15.00 hours start (local time) today from Checkpoint 2 just south of Cator Harbour on their way to Checkpoing 3 just North of King Christian Island.
They are over the “crest of the hill and on the downward slope” to the Final Finish. Navigationally this is the most difficult leg as there are no landmarks to take direction from.
Leg Two Statistics
Here are the standing after leg two. Note that the distances are different, they are the straight line distances between each time the teams check in so whilst not precisely how far each team has walked, they do provide a good approximation.
Team | Time (Difference) | Distance |
---|---|---|
The Polar Slugs | 293 hours, 54 minutes (First) | 153.02 Nm |
The Internationals | 297 hours, 46 minutes (+3 hours, 52 minutes) | 153.16 Nm |
