On 24 December 2002 Brian Cunningham and Jamie Young will attempt to travel across Antarctica from the South Pole in approximately ten days using the power of the wind alone.
The journey normally takes about two months by traditional methods.
For this endeavour the pair plan to use specially designed kite buggys made by Kieron Bradley of Parastorm Ltd. The buggys will also carry all the equipment and food (enough for 30 days - just in case). The buggys will be able to support about 70 pounds in weight each.
Advance kites are supplying the five kites that each person will take, and range in size from 1.9m² to 10m².
For the expedition the team have secured their main sponsorship from Kit Kat.
