Well well well! This is the first post to my new blog. I'm using this as a diary for the fxpedition2010 project that I'm a part of, so that I can document the whole thing for myself.
I am currently an IT technician at UCF (University College Falmouth), and as Exeter use part of the campus, I have been assigned as the Exeter IT guy - so I fix the IT problems for Exeter University users.
I read a poster several months ago advertising for an adventure, and now here I am, on the expedition team, set for Borneo in summer 2010!
It's amazing really, but I feel lucky to be a part of it and will write on here when I get the chance.
We're going to Borneo to an unexplored part of the rainforest, to discover what's there, to document that, and to educate the world with our findings. There are many more aspects to this! But I'll explain that in later posts.
For the time being, the blogsite is www.fxpedition2010.com and there's all the up-to-date info on the project. Soon there'll be an educational website up and running that we're using to keep in touch with the world - especially schools. We're going to create free resources for the classroom, and enable kids to follow us while we're trekking through the unknown!
More to follow.
Dan.
