Fabian - I think at the moment the expedition is going really well. It's much better than the training. The more I want it to end and go back home, the more I want it to slow down. The six hours husky sledding went really quickly, it felt more like three hours. I think it's going to go really quickly so I've got to appreciate it more. I'm having so much fun doing the expedition. People are realising that it's going faster and faster and we need to appreciate it. I need to get my camera out and take a few pictures.

Adam - It's been a good day today but the girls have been arguing with us. The girls set up one tent and the boys set another tent. They'd dug three holes and we'd only dug one as the girls had the ice pick, but we set ours up and the girls' was a shambles. They said it was 'cos we hadn't helped them, but they didn't help us, so why should we help them?? I think we've really annoyed the girls for some reason and they've gone mad! I'm going back to my tent now to have a hot chocolate and get some food down me!

Matt - Today I did the best thing I've ever done in my life. I drove the dog sled team on my own - it was amazing. So much fun! Tiberius, who's our lead dog, I thought there was no way he'd listen to me. I thought he'd just stop and go to sleep as I've seen that happen before, but he was listening to everything I said. He kept going and if I told him to go faster he went faster.

It was just amazing and I was pretty chuffed! I don't think people realise how much effort goes into driving them when you're rocketing down and looking all around you, making sure you dodge the rocks and lean the right way - there's a lot to do but it's so much fun. I loved it and I can't wait to go on the dog sled tomorrow.

Courtenay - Today was probably the best day of dog sledding. We went over the most amazing hills and the most amazing scenery. First it was uphill which was quite hard but then it was downhill. It was quite tricky actually 'cos I was on the back and you have to steer and use the right brakes.
