Samba Soccer Stadium Cycle Safari - Teammates Wanted

Join a TeamBelinda KirkComment

I'm going to cycle 5,500 miles across Brazil visiting each FIFA World Cup 2014 stadium prior to the tournament - check out my website - http://smudgersambacycle.org/ - for more info on the route.

When: early January to early June 2014, so pre-World Cup which starts 12th June and then I've applied for tickets to follow England (if they qualify!) with some mates from home.

Who/Why: I'm Andy, a 35-year-old from London, and an ex-corporate employee who's quit in search of adventure. I also love sport. Join me: for the whole thing, or just one stage, eg. Sau Paulo to Rio, or meet me along the route to say ola!

You can also contact me on @SmudgerAndy on Twitter. 

Dive Expedition to Ascension Island

CommunityBelinda KirkComment

Introducing an exciting marine survey of one of the worlds most remote islands. Ascension Island, an isolated volcanic island in the equatorial waters of the South Atlantic, around 1,600 kilometres from the coast of Africa and 2,250 kilometres from the coast of South America, harbours globally important biodiversity, potentially representing a unique assemblage of western and eastern Atlantic flora and fauna.

"Almost" doctors for an expedition?

OtherBelinda KirkComment

Hey there everyone!

A friend and I are looking to do an expedition for our end-of-finals elective. We would be wanting to go AFTER we've finished all of our placements (i.e. AE along with everything else) and final exams, and will be juniour doctors in all but name.

We're REALLY keen to do some expedition medicine, but we're struggling to find the best way to go about signing up for things. We don't have any courses to our name (like 'mountain medicine' or anything), but we both have pre-hospital care experience.

We would be looking to do something around about this time (late April 2014) next year. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
