You must do it, don't you think? I can just see the red kites against all the blue and white..WOW. So, the South Pole had to give you one more day to let you know what it can be about, huh? I can hear your excitment, yet it sounds like a good decision to finish tomorrow. Well, Howard, give a shout when you get there..I'll be listening!

Couldn't they have found another route that kept them out of sight! I don't want to hear about these buildings just ahead! They have spoilt the wilderness, is nothing sacred, even the south pole!! I am already feeling the loss of sharing your wilderness time, such a rare phenomena in this crowded world of ours.<br />But you deserve a really good rest, from all your heroic efforts, on our behalf!! I look forward to reading that your feet are up, and have a good whiskey in your hand, and are totally relaxed. Enjoy the last few kilometres, cherish each step and give our love to Antartica.

Somehow aiming at buildings sounds a bit bizarre - wonder how it feels to be nearing "civilisation".

Even at the finish, there is nothing easy about what you have done. A true triumph of an extraordinary man. I salute you.

I realise I am going to miss searching for each day's email from you/the relief when I see it nestled in my email box/then the anticipation of opening it to see what you have been through during each day. Now what have I to look forward to once you arrive?! I know - search for my own personal goal - but it has been such fun (tinged with anxiety) travelling with you!<br />Enjoy that final South Pole arrival experience and how wonderful that, this time, you will be there waiting for Ruth.
