Ben Saunders, long standing pole treker has been hold up in Eureka, Canada (Nunavut Territory) waiting on his plane to be fixed yet again.  Ben is setting out tomorrow - barring any other unforseen plane problems - to break the world record solo and unsupported by foot to trek from Ward Hunt Island to the Geographic North Pole.  He aims to put the record at 30 days - the current record is 36 days and 22 hours. 

Wetwired has previously pledged $100 bucks sponsership for a mile for his South Pole trip which got delayed, but when he goes we’ll cough up the dough.
