Your face on the flag

This coming December our three man team will be taking part in the Amundsen Omega 3 South Pole Race. We will be carrying a flag which we will erect when we reach the end of the race. The flag will contain pictures of people who have contributed to our team. You can add your photo to this flag for €10.

You will be able to submit your photo to be included onto the flag on this website from Wednesday 10th September.

    04 September 2008 I Missed Training This Morning...
    I don’t know what woke me up but it wasn't my alarm. I was late for training. I called Simon, “I’ve missed the slot. Sorry. I’m up but it's too late to get there now.” At 7 a.m. I should have been on my way to the city centre, breakfast on board.

    20 August 2008 One Step At A Time…
    Some time ago I was told that Tuesdays are the best days to ask your boss for a raise and to get a positive response. Applying this logic to my sponsorship search, last Tuesday I set myself up for a day of follow-up calls.


  • 11 August 2008 Dropping off the Plateau
    Noel dropped off the top of the plateau and I heard the swoosh of his skis gathering pace. In a split second his pulk (sledge) followed and then it was me. The tips of my skis hung over the edge and soon I too was on the move.
