18th & 19th February - Expedtion Symposium at PyB

Superb weekend at the Brenin; Andrew and I plus about a hundred other paddlers taking in the best of international expeditioning.

Workshops covered Sponsorship and Funding, Staying healthy, Exped. packing and provisioning, In-country contacts and transport, Pre-trip planning (dealing with emergencies / fatalities), Remote First-aid... the list goes on. Excellent evening lectures (Ollie and Ben in Greenland, Manby all over the place - literally since he was full of Guiness) and a great social buzz (OK - too much beer).

Fantastic event; likely to be repeated alternate years.



Pete Catterall - organiser and river god!
