WHERE ARE WE - AND WHAT'S HAPPENED?
NEW! Also created
new movies page
last 2 movies added 17 Jan...
We will document our progress here. Internet connectivity and baud rates etc are not reliable and access locations are intermittent and widely dispersed. However, when we get the opportunity, we'll be blogging our reports here. Everytime there is a new report, you'll see a new link on the left dated according to the report.
You'll also find a link summary at the foot of this page.
If we can, we'll also plot our approximate position on the Google Earth map above. Although we probably won't know where we are most of the time anyway.
