…Is this thing on..?

I’m putting together a basic site where I can post stuff about my my Challenge for the Antarctic. And well, you found it! Great job.

This has been a thing for me since late 2017 when I met a medic from the British Antarctic Survey while working in a camera store. He suggested I apply, and I did! Not only that, but I was accepted! Unfortunately, I failed out of the health checks (for a bunch of reasons) and never got to contribute. Now I’m giving it another shot, with three years of clean medical history and a lot more preparation. And that last bit is the key – I’m not jumping in this time, I’m going to make sure I’m ready first. Fitness, training and knowledge. And this is going to be my diary of how I made it happen.

…I hope!
