Latest - The Expeditions is currently in Phase 1: Fundraising (The Tough Bit)

October 26th, 2008
This week we've been featured in the New Scientist! It's great that our irreverent trip to Greece is being taken seriously.

Esther and I have been nominated for the British Gas Green Guardian Award. It's really brought out the competitive edge in me. I really want it!

We've been researching routes, and are looking for places where people make interesting use of sustainable energy resources. (Wind farms, waste recycling) If you have any suggests email them to us.

We are also fundraising at the moment. We are approaching funding organisations for grants as well as companies for sponsorship. Lots of paperwork and form filling. I hate it with a passion but it's got to be done.

I've also been taking flying lessons when the weather has allowed it and after a just a few days I'm totally hooked on paragliding.
