We'll see you out there

This is the last blog we'll be posting prior to the kick-off of the 2009 Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge.

This week has gone from bad to worse; it's really demoralising as we'd put in such a lot of good work.

Our company has tightened the screw even further - 15-hour-days (including on public holidays) have been the norm - training has not. We're racing against the clock to finish projects by the end of the day, before we have to run around buying out final bits of equipment and food for the week and, finally, drive to Abu Dhabi.

I'm just looking forward to getting there now as the lead-up has been, quite frankly, a nightmare.

Oh, throw in a healthy does of cold/flu that's tearing its way through our office for good measure. Fair to say that not one of us is feeling great.

Feels like evrything is stacked against us completing this thing but I can assure you that won't be for lack of effort.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us to this point and we'll keep you posted with blogs and pics from the event.
