Friday Morning 10.00am, and Emma the wintering Comms has just been down to the Drewry to collect one of the computers to mend it. We said our good mornings, and had a chat about communications here at Halley and how it will be at Halley VI the new build. She told me that computers and phone lines will be down for most of the day today, starting after morning smoko at 10.30am. So i have 30 mins to get this post published.
As i had a trip out to the new site yesterday on my day off, I thought i would add a link to the Halley VI website which will give you a better insight into this project. My trip yesterday was really good, I went out with steve in Challenger 1, had a tour with Simon Gill and Phil Moneypenny, stayed out there for lunch with Shaggy and the rest of the boys working on the Comms Antennae, and returned in the afternoon in a Sno-cat. The journey is approx 15km and took 30 / 40 mins. It is all pretty awesome and i will update and post more info on the new site at a later date.
Until then just click on the link below and be amazed at the New build
Here is a picture of last seasons Antarctic team on a big sofa they made out of Ice.
Every season they do something different. These guys are very talented and i feel blessed to be a part of the team and working closely with them.
