Now that's it ; here we are !

There is so much that we would have loved to share regarding the preparation of this expedition. Unfortunately we‘ve been running after time, dealing with logistics and millions of details to fix and solve.

But now, before we set off, it‘s time to sum up the first step of our trip : the preparation. Yes this counts as almost half of the trip, as it‘s such a crucial part!

This project got born about 2 years and a half ago (even if the idea of it is even older). And we‘ve been actively working on it since about a year and a half. For about 6 months everything got fast forwarded as we went full force into it, leaving aside everything else of our lives ; the final 8 weeks went really intense !

We‘ve been working between 15 and 20 hours during those last 4 weeks, all in front of our computers and on the phone, trying to finalize everything ; a huge work ! I guess you would have expected us to focus on getting physically fit for the challenge, right ?

But no, preparing such an expedition seems to be more like being a company manager rather than a high performance sportsman. But that also explains why there isn‘t that many candidates for such a project...

The achievement of this adventure is also the result of a great team work, and it wouldn‘t be possible without the energy and support from our partners...
