Nilson : Eight days to go

Published on 11.01.2012 - Climate Neutral Pole 2 Pole

As usual, the dispatches of Swedish cyclist Johan Ernst Nilson are brief and terse.

The only information we can get out of the last audio dispatch published three times in a row on 10 January is that this young guy has a broken wrist and a knee injury. And that he keeps moving towards SP. He thinks he will arrive at the bottom of the world within a week. We do not have any further information although it would have been interesting to know in what condittions these injuries occured...

One sometimes may wonder why Nilson has decided to have a website to 'follow' his journey !
