Inspiration 2

This photo is taken high on Mt Jansen by last years Antarctic expedition (thanks to Mike Roberts/Adventure Consultants for the photo).

So back to people's reactions. The other one is one of admiration. Even if the person has no desire to visit Antarctica they can see the trip as one of great adventure, a once in a life time chance to do something really different.

There certainly has been a few folk sating "you lucky bu**er" normally followed by "how did you get that passed your missus?"

I am sure I will say it again, Chris and I are indebted to our wonderful wives for agreeing to let us sneak off for 6 weeks and have our escape... adventure... mid-life crisis or what ever it is. Posted by Picasa

Unbelievable!

I admire your spirit -- probably the same thrill of adventure that brought my "Border revier" ancestors to America many generations ago. That, and the fact they likely were "asked" to leave Scotland. :-)

Thanks for your blog, which I discovered accidentally. I look forward to following your trek from the safety of my warm cocoon in Florida.

I wish you a safe journey.
