Aimo's tales from the Falklands, Antarctica & Beyond

I'm back, Hurrah for me.

Its been nearly six months all told since I departed sunny England for Antarctica, it all started . . . . . are we sitting comfortably . . . . . . .

No, you're OK, I'm not going to get all ethical about global warming & saving the planet, not my style, I was there to project manage the construction of the first phase of the infrastructure redevelopment of the British Antarctic Survey's research station at Rothera, Adelaide Island, Antarctica.

First & foremost I have to say it was an absolute bloody privilege to be there, after all how many others get to drink G&T's chilled with ice thousands of years old.

Anyway back to the story . . . . . . .

So there we go, that was the story of 2006/2007, but it doesn't end there, argghhh, I hear you scream, well, I would if you were in the same room as me, but fortunately for you you're not, anyway's with bags again packed I flew the nest mid November (2007) & again headed for Heathrow never dreaming that the journey to Rothera would almost be as eventful as twelve months earlier . . . . . . . . . . .
