Apparently the BBC’s “Radio Orkney” did a short piece on William this morning (which I’m afraid I missed) and I believe the will be doing regular updates throughout the race (at least that is the plan as I’ve been asked to email them daily reports).They may possibly also feature news in their evening programme (details below).

Unfortunately at present the current show doesn’t seem to be available on the BBC iPlayer servise (but I’ll check back in case this changes – they seem to usually make the show available on-line).
