Arctic Walk - Mark Keen - Completed.

[IJN]

Mark Keen is a member on here and had decided to get off his arse and challenge himself to undertaking quite a challenge with a group of others. He's asked for OUR help.

It's a great cause so please do what you can and get yourself a new away shirt, and by new I mean all the new players on it.

I would add that Argyle (thanks to Matt Kimberly) has provided the shirt free of charge. 👏

So, in the time honoured tradition.............. Bids please..................

In March of 2024 a small group of us will attempt to traverse a 100km route across the Arctic in snowshoes. Our start point will be from: Kungsleden Base Camp, Abisko, Northern Sweden, 250km inside the Arctic Circle. We will work as a team walking in the harshest of environments, having been taught various artic survival techniques such as ice-breaking drills, self-rescue, building emergency shelters, snow holes, and of course most important expedition foot care! We are doing this in support of NHS Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff, which not only does incredible work with cancer sufferers throughout Wales, but also contributes to research into cancer on a wider scale, that will one day, hopefully see an end to the grief and anguish the terrible disease can lead to. Any help much appreciated.

<p>Here I go again!! Its been three years since the 24 hour charity walk around my garden (that was a hard 89km!) This time I am looking at an unsupported attempt to cover 100km across the Arctic Circle in 7 days, whilst raising much needed funds for Velindre Cancer Centre. Those of you that...
