Witt,
Jen and Graham attended
the Royal Geographic Society Explore 2002 conference in London.
This
conference is a treasure trove of contacts and information for those
planning expeditions in remote locations. It is geared mainly toward
scientists doing field research, but is open to anyone with an interest.
We attended talks on overland planning and logistics, desert and
savannah and tropical forest expeditions, earth sciences in expeditions,
GPS/GIS mapping and recording expeditions in words and images. We came
away with the Royal Geographic Society book on Expedition Medicine as
well as contact with other groups planning on heading from London to
Cape Town around the same time we are. I'm sure we'll see them on the
road and swap ideas before we leave. The conference is a great source of
information, inspiration and contacts. See

GPSy
has agreed to sponsor us by giving us a free copy of GPSy for the
Macintosh. This is a fantastic GPS software package that allows maps to
be uploaded to and downloaded from GPS units along with waypoints and
tracks. GPSy also allows the importation and calibration of custom maps.
A really great piece of software. See
