Oltre now has released 3 videos of their Expedition since they reached the Arctic Circle.
I have made a new page at http://www.adventuretrailers.com/video.html and at http://www.atreport.com/video.html
I will add any new video to these pages as they come available.

Expedition Abandoned:
I'm sorry to say that the Oltre Expedition has had to abandon their attempt at driving the North East Passage. They encountered high snowfalls in the Ural Mountains and unusually high temperatures in the Arctic Circle.

Expedition Abandoned:
The Oltre Expedition has had to abandon their attempt of traveling from the North Cape Norway, to the Bearing Sea in Far Eastern Russia.
Crossing the Ural Mountains to reach Salekhard, the Gateway to the Far East has proven to be insurmountable. Contributing factors have been an unusually high snowfall, followed by high temperatures. The typical temperatures in the Arctic Circle should be -30° C (-22°F) but have been hovering around -4° C (+ 25°F).
These higher temperatures have made travel North of the Urals impossible because of the thin ice pack.
The Expedition should be back in Milan, Italy within 30 days.

That's too bad, but they at least tried and did what a lot of people would never even attempt.

Many congrats. I'll probably be contacting you in the near future for a Chaser. And it looks like I'll be supporting a fellow Taffy from your avatar!
I'd love to sell a Chaser to a fellow Welshman.

So, I guess you did hear about the Welsh farmer who kept mountain sheep. :shakin:
I think Martyn should have an honorary Celtic price list:
Welsh = MSRP - 30% (Welsh unity of course)
Irish = MSRP + 10% (that's around $1K less you can piss up on Guinness and Jameson, so in essence he's doing both your liver and brain a favor)
Scottish = MSRP + 20% (because you are tight bastards and need to spend some money on something useful to jump start the global economy. Haggis sales just aren't cutting it)
and lets not forget...
English = MSRP + 60% (enough said)
