Default Let's try that again...



From left to right we have the all Irish team as follows:

Team Leader Pat Falvey, a youngster at age 50, veteran of more than 59 high adventure expeditions around the world.

Jonathan Bradshaw, 36, veteran adventurer of Africa, the Himalayas and New Zealand.

Uber Gruber, information withheld as I am not sure he wishes for his name to be out there in SUBSIM. I sure can't ask him right now.:rotfl:He is survivor of a cross Greenland expedition last year where Falvey selected him and Bradshaw for this historic south pole walking expedition.

Dr Clare O'Leary, 35, the first woman in history to walk to the south pole. There were several weeks during the journey where she was the only uninjured team member. She pulled a 500 lb plus sled just like the others. Hope she gets rich and famous. I fear the world is much too jaded for that much deserved outcome though.

Freddy T. Bear, age unknown, on top of the pole in the foreground, accompanies Pat Falvey on all expeditions, writing a blog for the benefit of school kids around the world. Here's the link http://www.patfalvey.com/freddy.htm. What a bear!

So there we have it. I'll release more information as it becomes available, such as will they walk the rest of the way across the continent, having reached this milestone. That's in the plan, but how do you stay motivated after reaching the pole? Remember, they can just fly out nowdays.
