Wounded soldiers reach North Pole

A TEAM of wounded soldiers who reached the North Pole have spoken about their "unbelievable" journey to the top of the world.

It took the four servicemen 13 days to complete the 170-mile challenge with the two co-founders of the Walking With The Wounded charity and their expedition leader.

Prince Harry, the patron of the charity, joined the team for the last days of training and first four days of the trek.

Private Jaco Van Gass, 24, said: "It's an unbelievable feeling. Basically it looked the same as where we camped the night before, and the night before that. But it was just to know that we were literally on the top of the world was an unbelievable experience."
