It's amazing what you can pack into 24 hours!
Last weekend the B.I.G. North Pole Expedition team gathered from Ireland, France and across the UK at a country hotel off the M40 - they were kind enough to loan us their honeymoon suite for us to spread out with all our expedition equipment in preparation for our April departure for the North Pole.
We thoroughly made ourselves at home and worked through our 'to do' lists making good use of the countryside that surrounds the hotel. Our GPS navigation exercise handily led us to the most perfect English country pub....
It's been one of the most enjoyable expedition training meets - just goes to show that you don't always have to suffer to be productive!
