Hanging around
Golly gee, this is getting agonising, as i have alluded to in past blogs i am pretty nervous about this trip. i am in the best hands possible no concerns there, its the unknowns which prey on my mind and there are potentially many. but worries are magnified by the waiting. we thought we might go tomorrow, at lunchtime we were told to be ready at 8pm we were, then wait, more news at 9 pm, none wait until 10 pm none then at 1030 pm no the flight isn't going. no criticism at all of the russian at barneo and here, that team are doing their very best but they simply won't let us go up to barneo unless its a 100% safe and it plainly potentially still isn't. i guess you have seen the huge crack a cross the runway which stopped us getting up yesterday, in the papers? they are sending the plane up with no passengers on a test and probably to bring prince harry back.. tomorrow at 10am we will have another update and we may head off tomorrow but our issue is we have been here waiting over a week and time is running out the window to get to the pole is short and barneo closes at the end of april as the sea takes over again and the ice melts.

Hiena! Agonising is the word. O how frustrating. We hope the test flight has gone well, and there is a way to get you all up there after all. Just think of the Pole, and good luck!! All our love P, A and R XXx
ReplyDeleteIt must be agonising knowing that the window of opportunity is slowly closing though it is comforting to know that the experts will allow no risk to enter the decision making. Certainly have no desire to check on to a news channel and see or hear "Plane plunges into crevasse in Arctic". Your patience will be rewarded, Cuz making the whole experience that extra bit special.........
