Latest : Philips will help Farmer

Published on 04.12.2011 - Pole to Pole Run

This Sunday 4 December, we have just been informed that famous australian explorer Eric Philips will joint Pat Farmer for the Antarctic part of his gigantic run from NP to SP.

Here is the official communiqué (published on Mark George's website) :

"Eric Philips will be helping Pat Farmer complete the final leg of his incredible ‘Pole to Pole’ run in December, by following the same Hercules to South Pole route. With some luck they will bump into each other, and an on the spot interview will be the outcome. If not, Georgie aims to reacquaint himself with Eric at the end of each trip and will capture a quick interview then."
