No, I am not hibernating! Although I haven’t blogged for a while, alongside all my usual commitments I have been really busy working towards the expedition. I have been filling in bursary application forms, working extra hours on my part-time job and eBay sales have slowly trickled in following a lull over the Christmas period.
Since my last blog I have had a birthday, and the money I received will be going towards equipment. I also received a few items, such as this ultra-light weight mug and spoon, weighing 75g together. I have been visiting “outdoor shops” and looking online trying to find best buys – the most difficult item to buy seems to be the most important one – the rucksack. As it is going to be so heavy I want to make sure that it will be comfortable. I have just returned home from the Go Outdoors shop after spending two hours walking around the shop with a rucksack containing 20kg of sandbags. I am still trying to decide.
On Tuesday I went for more vaccinations, second dose of Hep A + B, as well as starting the course of Rabies injections. Tomorrow I am looking forwards to starting two new art commissions.
