The picture shows just some of the technology off to Argentina this Sunday with the advance party from the Climb for Prostate Team. I've been busy testing and tweeking all the equipment which will be
supporting the team.
Radios, laptops, satellite phones and camera batteries will all be recharged by the solar panel in the picture throughout their time on the mountain. The orange device is the Spot GPS which will automatically update our position every 10 minutes once on the mountain and post it on the map on this blog page, it's accurate to within a couple of meters, so if whoever has it clipped to their belt decides to go for a pee in the middle of the night, you'll see it happen live!
As a test, this blog entry and picture were uploaded via the satellite phone you see in the picture. I've just got to find out who's picking up the phone bill!
