A very quick update to say that finally, after 2 weeks of manic ordering, purchasing, sorting and packing, the final pieces of kit have been sent by freight to Canada and Tarka after a very stressful few days has finally got the communication’s (satellite phones and laptops etc.) working!! Why is it, no matter how organised we are we still end up doing major preparations right to the last minute? Anyway it is now 6pm and we can finally relax and get excited about the adventure ahead. We are off to have supper with friends, a few glasses of my mothers choice wine (below) and a relatively early night. We are ready to fly out from Heathrow tomorrow morning and will update you when we get there.
