There are a mountainous number of people supporting the team in a myriad of ways, as seen from links shown on the welcome page of this site. There are also the family, especially their wives and children, parents and a host of friends supporting them financially and emotionally, carrying on the good work at home even, so they can do the expedition at all. See the many messages to get a feel for that. There are also many kit suppliers, including Spirit of Adventure for the SPOT unit, Cable & Wireless for the satphone, clothing suppliers and so on. They are ALL important and vital. Their links are elsewhere on this site. It would also be foolish to forget to mention the Falkland Islanders themselves, who are clearly being extremely hospitable to the team in terms of food, rest and shelter. A huge thanks is given to all these people by the team for that support.

 

Here there is a short mention of the team support "on the ground". These are the people who 24/7 keep an eye out on the team, respond to the SPOT, collate messages, upload photos, manage supply drops, provide weather forecasts and generally enable the website to keep everyone else informed.
