A quick message from Ben:

 We didn’t find our “salt flats” distance testing ground here, just way too rugged for that. We are however starting to get our heads round how this place works, following hunters waypoints etc. We did 80km in 3 1/2 hours yesterday down to Whale Cove from where I’m writing now.

That’s a pretty good time for bumpy terrain, at that speed it equates to about 500km in 24hrs. Imagine how far they could go if the ground wasn’t so rough!
