I'm off!

Well that's it - I'm all packed, the dash7 is working and the weather seems to be improving. The plan is for me to head north tomorrow, up to Punta Arenas then get a commercial flight to Stanley and meet the HMS Endurance there for a month of flying about in helicopters then home for tea and medals. I've been walking around with my wallet in my pocket to get used to the weight. Although being surrounded by people that i don't know might take a bit more getting used to.... Tomorrow there will be two very startled looking guys sitting in a chilean bar!
