| wooooow! just thought i'd check the latest before bed .... was not expecting that. It was looking so good. Can't believe how gripped I've been with nothing more than a flag on a map, a couple of photos and tweets! Hope everyone is OK and had a good nights sleep by the time any of this is read. Well done. (PS I'm hoping this Claudio chap has got it wrong and when I check at work tomorrow you're little union jack will be marching on, either way, well done) 2009-11-12 23:29 - matt u |

looking good though, hope you are having fun. and are still smiling at least a little bit.
something to make you think, name the seven countries that when spelt in English all in capitals can't be coloured in, ie PORTUGAL, doesn't count as you can colour in the P,O,R,A! you get the idea!! get back to me with your answers.

Tell them the website is crap - no 'Leaderboard' update since Sunday - it is now Tues. We have no info from the site on what you are doing etc. You are all brill and hope the mountains are kind to you. XXXX 2009-11-10 23:21 - Anders |
| Today I will be mostly from South Georgia Island. Good this, you can pick any old randem. God it's lonely here, just a few thousand birds and a howling wind. Anyway, can't tell what's going on. No leaderboard since Sunday afternoon. Still, I managed to waste hours at work watching your little flag move through the hills. I'd say you were doing well, so stiff upper lip what, best of british and keep it up chaps. Carry a stick to ward off those perishing sleepy monsters.
