Preparing to go


This time next month I'll be on my way to South Georgia!  The last few months have flown by in a blur and I now can't wait to get going.  I'll be flying on 4th November on the Falkland Islands airbridge - a 22hr flight via Ascension Island (EDIT: looks like I'll be flying the long way now via Chile....with BAS the itinerary is never firm until you are on a plane and in the air!).  In Stanley I'll join the BAS ship RRS JCR (James Clark Ross) as she sails south to Signy Island and then on to KEP, South Georgia.

The focus has now shifted from medical training (and completing MSc module assignments!) to BAS-related preparation...
