Will Hyslop is probably the farthest flung of all listeners to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hereford and Worcester. He beats our rugby fans who listen to games live on the internet from Bermuda, Australia, Thailand and even China. Will keeps up to date with events in the two counties on his computer aboard a survey ship in the Antarctic. Since we first met Will he's left the icy waters of the Antarctic to go back to the Falkland Isles to pick up supplies. The voyage to the Antarctic in the survey ship James Clarke Ross took four weeks.

Of course it's summer on the other side of the world, and Will says it's 'surprisingly warm' - that means daytime temperatures of two degrees Celsius. Will is a cook, and the favourites onboard include curry and soup. He's now an official listener to the Nathan Turvey show. You can hear Will talking to Nathan by clicking on the link under SEE ALSO at the top right hand side of this page.
