I'm not sure that Neal and Christian can hear any "sleigh bells a' ringing", but they certainly seem to be having their fair share of festive weather up there. An fresh update here from the guys. Picture them sitting in their tent, isolated in the snowy volcanic wilds of Iceland, chomping on their dry packed breakfast, timeline Thursday 16th June, "Feeling very tired still after a hard slog yesterday. Will set out south but started snowing which will slow us. Unlikely to have any cell signal for a while now." EXTREME!
