Kev, Jo & Claire getting ready to leave Ottawa Canada flying onto Iqaluit Airport, this is the second leg of our journey on route to Resolute Bay!!

Both Jo & Claire for the Polar Challenge will be operating under a different team name for the race as we were all fundraising monies for our own supported charities at the time.

From this moment onwards until the Polar Challenge 2010 has been successfully completed we will be know as:

TEAM SHEPPARD & The Cheese Rollers!! 
IQALUIT AIRPORT (Via; Ottawa, Canada)

NANISIVIK AIRPORT (Via; Iqaluit)

RESOLUTE BAY AIRPORT (Via; Nanisivik)
