Good stuff Jim; do you have coordinates for his other camps?

If you could get them nightly it would be a great way for us to play along at home, on Google Earth or something, as the 'map' on the website doesn't seem to do anything but zoom slightly...

[Desmo]

Yeah, that map isn't updating correctly for some reason, the guys are looking into it.
I'll update the blogs today with the coordinates.

[IDOLYZ]

I didn't create the site mate, I'm just the custodian.
These guys are responsible for the design and "look and feel" of the site, I'm not that talented and am just responsible for the content, images and blog postings etc.

Hi Jim,

Small world... I work for The Loft Group, and have helped build the One Man Epic website, although Andy has done most of the work.

I have been following the blog updates, and can't imagine what a mission it would be and the things he has to go through.

Cheers,
Ben

[Desmo]

Oh hi Ben, it is a small world.
Hoping you guys are liking the blogs, new one up there now.

Just caught the last half of the channel 7 coverage...

Wow - Epic is an understatement... i didnt realise he would have to SWIM parts of it!!

Good luck Tom - watch out for those bears...

And chances are, someone from Perth will be wandering around up in the ice with nothing more than a pipe, a lighter and a massive bag of ganja.

Doesnt matter where you go you will always find someone from Perth.

[Eddie???]

Just saw this.. Guy is a legend.. the shit he'll have to go through is unbelievable and his spirit is amazing.. Would love to meet him.. Anything planned (PSB wise) for his return Jim?

[The_Wookie]

Nothing but the upmost admiration for you fella. Good luck with the journey.

[Desmo]

I'll see how things pan out.
Once he completes his journey he'll probably disappear for a bit and take some R&R but I'll see what we can arrange.
