Every expedition needs the basics

A team making a recordbreaking attempt to cross Antarctica during the winter are taking SCA's Tork products with them.

The Coldest Journey expedition, headed by Sir Ranulph Fiennes, will be the subject of a Channel Five documentary. Besides earning a place in the Guinness World Records and gathering valuable data, the venture will also raise millions of pounds for charity.

The team is taking supplies of Tork LiquidSoap and Tork Premium Hand Sanitiser Alcohol Gel plus dispensers along with 180 rolls of Tork conventional toilet paper.

'We are delighted that the Coldest Journey team has decided to use Tork products,' says Sarah Wilson, SCA UK and Ireland communications director.

'It shows real confidence in the quality and convenience of Tork hygiene systems.' The six-month trek, which will begin on March 21 2013, will cover a distance of 2,000 miles.
