Crossing Queen Elizabeth land on foot is a tough challenge. The disabled British servicemen and Prince Harry are an inspiration. Its all far beyond the capability of Argies. The Royal Marines famous yomp across East Falkland to defeat the invading colonialists was a similar feat of endurance.

But at least the Royal marines got to shoot the bastards!

The poor old Ghurkhas did the same and were stood down without an argie throat cut!

Too easy to say “British”. But no-one should forget that Commonwealth and US servicemen and women also took part. And all credit to them. And His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales. For all his snide detractors, Harry could have gone to South Africa and waved the team farewell. No need to go on to Antarctica. No need to trek 200 miles over snow and ice. No need to get involved in hauling loaded sledges. That's because he's a soldier and he can. Because he respects our troops. Only a moron would disrespect what has been achieved.

“But I’m so proud, I’m so chuffed and I’m so privileged to be here with all these guys and girls, and well done to Ed and Dags and everyone who’s organised this, what an amazing accomplishment. I think we’ll be having a few whiskies tonight and then everyone’s looking forward to getting home.
Mission success. - Prince Harry, Expedition Patron”
