ProARCTICA

The North and South poles are the last truly unspoilt regions of our planet. It is literally nowhere. We, Arnaud de Wilde and Wim De Backer, are planning an expedition to Antarctica! Not just any expedition, but a serious Sea to Summit challenge. A gruelling journey that will lead us from the frigid Antarctic sea through mountains and glaciers and endless ice fields, to the summit of the highest mountain on the continent: Mount Vinson.

A four thousand eight hundred ninety-two meter high mountain of snow and ice. An unknown route, never travelled before by anyone! Expedition proARCTICA is scheduled from November 2016 to January 2017. Check www.proarctica.eu

The Coldest Crossing

To become the first people to cross Iceland from North to South unsupported in Winter.In the Winter of 2015/2016, we shall be attempting to cross the Polar region whilst relying solely on the equipment and food we have carried and hauled with us since the start of the expedition. To further add to our load we hope to document the entire expedition through film, writing and live blog updates.

This expedition is different to most, if not all other Arctic expeditions because after we have progressed through the relatively flat Pole-like Icelandic Interior, we shall then cross a so-far-uncrossed route over the Southern Icelandic mountain ranges, including the world famous Eyjafalljokull Volcano.The sun will not rise fully throughout the expedition.

Raleigh International Expedition 2015

This autumn I will be heading to Costa Rica and Nicaragua to act as a Spanish interpreter and volunteer project manager for the sustainable development charity Raleigh International.

For three months I will lead a group of 12 young volunteers as they work on environmental- and community-based projects in remote locations across the two countries. Raleigh has a long history of excellent work in the region - and across the world - and has a strong emphasis on the personal development of the volunteers, as well as providing opportunities for underprivileged young people from the UK to get involved.

Cycling Alaska to Patagonia

I'm currently one year into a bicycle expedition down the Americas, from the top of Alaska to the bottom of Patagonia, seeking out off-road adventures where possible.

It's been an incredible ride so far with plenty adventuring still to come. See what I'm up to at www.theridesouth.com.

CapeTown2Calcutta

After several delays false startsthisadventure is finally getting underway! A female led, 4x4, overland expedition from Cape Town to Calcutta (modern day Kolkata) exploring and documenting the economic development of women across the myriad of nations between the two cities.Not only is this an edible journey, it is a unique opportunity for women to engage in open, cross-cultural dialogue regarding the changing societal views towards a woman's position in the work place and the steps that are being taken to affect that change.This is self-funded expedition setting off from Cape Town in early August.

Using an 80 series Toyota Land Cruiser which has been lovingly prepared specifically for the expedition, the plan is to travel up through sub-Saharan Africa to Mombasa before shipping the vehicle over to Mumbai in order to cross India.Message me if you're interested in supporting or collaborating on  the project;here are some ways to get involved: Come along as an additional driver/companion/camera person!

Flying for Freedom - Antarctic Microlight Expedition

Supported by the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry through their Endeavor Fund, Flying for Freedom provides microlight flying training and recovery services.Wounded, Injured and Sick (WIS) servicemen and women are taught to fly and are encouraged to train towards becoming Assistant Flying Instructors (AFI). Those who qualify can then take an active role in supporting rehabilitation activities or progress on to careers in the Aviation sector.Flying for Freedom is not set up as a charity (to avoid competing for charitable funds) and maintains a clear focus on providing rehabilitation services.

We are partnered with Help for Heroes, who collect and manage any charitable donations on our behalf.Our expedition to Antarctica will be a fully integrated attempt on the South Pole by Powered Hanglider, including wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women from across the Joint Services.Making Antarctic Aviation History: First to fly a Flexwing Microlight in Antarctica First to fly a Flexwing Microlight to the South Pole First to fly a Flexwing Microlight over Mt.

Our team is attempting a series of flying challenges and world firsts, that have never been tried or attempted before.

Kayak down the River Wey from Godalming to the Thames

Hello Folks,

I'm wondering if you or any members could assist with a tricky logistical problem. A friend and me are planning to kayak the length of the river Wey, from Godalming in Surrey to where it meets the Thames. We need to stash our kayaks in Godalming near the river and make a start as early as possible, preferably at dawn. Otherwise we will have to go back and forth by car from each finish point.

Can anyone possibly assist please??
