First thing to catch my eye was the &lt;a href="http://www.torpedalo.com/"&gt;Torpedalo&lt;/a&gt;, a pedal boat designed to cross the Atlantic, like &lt;a href="http://www.jeangabrielchelala.com/"&gt;Jean-Gabriel Chelala&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;did in 2008 except his boat was not beautifully designed like the Torpedalo. Yesterday I found out they had a few speakers and I rushed not to miss &lt;a href="http://www.edstafford.org/"&gt;Ed Stafford&lt;/a&gt;. Most of you have read about him when he hit the news in August 2010 after completing his expedition walking the Amazon. For the last long end of the trip he was accompanied by Gadiel "Cho" Sanchez Rivera who is now in England learning English and will soon get education, which is great.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QozaGGgMyTM/TxCSGXziOGI/AAAAAAAAB0k/ShrBDDEJ1Pk/s1600/Torpedalo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QozaGGgMyTM/TxCSGXziOGI/AAAAAAAAB0k/ShrBDDEJ1Pk/s200/Torpedalo.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Today I went to visit the Royal Geographic Society. I had been there in 2009 but this time I could visit the Foyle Reading room, which &amp;nbsp;is a mecca of information like a collection of maps or books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FR: &lt;i&gt;Je suis à Londres pendant 4 jours pour effectuer diverses visites. L'outdoors show (qui fait aussi le vélo, les bateaux et le voyage) est un événement annuel pour voir les nouveaux produits et pour moi prendre la température du marché Anglais. Ce qui m'a intéressé d'emblée fût le Torpedalo, bateau conçu pour traverser l'Atlantique comme l'a fait Jean-Gabriel Chelala en 2008 mis à part que son engin était beaucoup moins profilé et techniquement beau. Hier, je remarque qu'ils ont quelques intervenants dont Ed Stafford.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S-UqRUXRcXM/TxCSK3mTWzI/AAAAAAAAB0s/Tx24S5FLdX4/s1600/Ed+Stafford+Walking+the+Amazon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S-UqRUXRcXM/TxCSK3mTWzI/AAAAAAAAB0s/Tx24S5FLdX4/s200/Ed+Stafford+Walking+the+Amazon.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Beaucoup d'entre-vous ont du lire dans les nouvelles en 2009 à propos de ce gars qui venait de terminer de descendre l'Amazone à pied. Pour la très longue et dernière partie il était accompagné de&amp;nbsp;Gadiel "Cho" Sanchez Rivera qui apprend en ce moment l'Anglais en Angleterre et va bientôt commencer un cursus scolaire. Ce qui est fantastique.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aujourd'hui, j'ai été visiter la&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Royal Geographic Society.

He has an impressive scar on the shoulder.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;FR: &lt;i&gt;Après avoir terminé sur la plage d'Ostende l'expédition BelgiKayak sur les voies navigables Belges, j'ai pris la route vers Nuremberg en Allemagne pour assister à Kanumesse ou PaddleExpo (la foire des sports de pagaie/kayak). J'y ai rencontré mes sponsors&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.seabirddesigns.com/"&gt;Seabird Designs&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;et&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://select-kayaks.com/"&gt;Select Paddles&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;qui montraient leurs nouveaux produits. J'ai été me présenter à des sponsors potentiels et des rédacteurs en chefs de magazines pour &amp;nbsp; avoir un article sur mon expédition. Rien ne vaut les contacts humains.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;J'ai discuté avec&amp;nbsp;Björn Thomasson, le designer de certains kayaks de Seabird, qui m'a expliqué comment il a commencé a construire ses propres kayaks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;J'ai aussi rencontré&amp;nbsp;Sebastian Plura Nillssen de l'expédition &lt;a href="http://www.svalbard360.com/"&gt;Svalbard360&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;qui s'est terminé en drame lorsque Sebastian s'est fait attaquer et mordre par un ours polaire.

in Switzerland and the flight progression during the day including several interviews done with the pilot &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Borschberg"&gt;André Borschberg&lt;/a&gt;. During the evening I attended the historical landing in Brussels airport, which I filmed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Piccard"&gt;Bertrand Piccard&lt;/a&gt; had the original idea of flying around the world after he flew with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Jones_(aeronaut)"&gt;Brian Jones&lt;/a&gt; around the world with a balloon in 1999. The Solar Impulse is a symbol to show that with appropriate technologies and teamwork we can do amazing things and all together work towards a better and sustainable world in terms of energy consumption. Harvesting the sun is one of the means to do so. The solar plane just does that and is able to store energy in its batteries to fly during the night. The round a world flight is planned in 2014.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FRA: &lt;i&gt;J'ai suivi avec attention le décollage du &lt;a href="http://www.solarimpulse.com/"&gt;Solar Impulse&lt;/a&gt; en Suisse, la progression en vol ainsi que plusieurs interviews faites du pilote &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Borschberg"&gt;André Borschberg&lt;/a&gt;. J'ai assisté à l'attérissage historique à l'aéroport de Bruxelles en soirée que j'ai filmée. &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Piccard"&gt;Bertrand Piccard&lt;/a&gt; a eu l'idée de ce projet original après avoir terminé son tour du monde en ballon avec &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Jones_(a%C3%A9rostier)"&gt;Brian Jones&lt;/a&gt; en 1999. Le Solar Impulse est un symbole qui montre qu'avec des technologies appropriées et du travail d'équipe on peut relever des défis exceptionnels et tous ensemble travailler envers un monde meilleur et durable en terme de consommation d'énergies. Recolter le soleil est un des moyens pour ce faire. L'avion solaire fait exactement cela et est capable de stocker l'énergie dans ses batteries pour voler de nuit. Le tour du monde est prévu autour de 2014.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14655670-3083970902305591117?l=louphi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://louphi.blogspot.com/feeds/3083970902305591117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14655670&amp;postID=3083970902305591117' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14655670/posts/default/3083970902305591117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14655670/posts/default/3083970902305591117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://louphi.blogspot.com/2011/05/solar-impulse-in-brussels.html' title='Solar Impulse in Brussels'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-33hngBMMGkg/TdBGzP1N30I/AAAAAAAABgE/b01iA-oHVPk/s72-c/Solar+Impulse+banner.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655670.post-1292013284162650770</id><published>2011-05-11T17:03:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-11T17:04:45.975+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kayak'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='adventure'/><title type='text'>Paddle kayak adventure in Belgium</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aM5KfABzD_k/Tbwo6GXHt3I/AAAAAAAABeI/irH7Uyf6Xyc/s1600/BelgiKayak-logo-tiny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aM5KfABzD_k/Tbwo6GXHt3I/AAAAAAAABeI/irH7Uyf6Xyc/s1600/BelgiKayak-logo-tiny.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ENG: My new adventure is not an extreme one as I'll be discovering my backyard and hope to shoot a funny and interesting documentary as I'll be visiting several places, meeting iconic people living along the Belgian waterways.

HM Stanley being very famous for his quote finding David Livingstone in 1871 with a "&lt;i&gt;Dr. Livingstone, I presume?&lt;/i&gt;" but that was before going to Congo. I will soon write a summary of this talk and explain why Sir Henry Morton Stanley gave his kettle (in fact a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samovar"&gt;samovar&lt;/a&gt;) to Louis Valcke. The story is inspiring and to me could be a base for a movie. The item is now in the hands of his great-grandson, who will &lt;b&gt;auction it and a few other items on &lt;span style="background-color: blue;"&gt;September the 6th in Brussels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;a href="http://louphi.blogspot.com/p/contact.html"&gt;Contact me&lt;/a&gt; if you want more info about the auction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FRA: &lt;i&gt;Hier j'ai échangé pendant 3 heures avec Mr. Valcke qui m'a raconté une partie de l'histoire de son&amp;nbsp;arrière&amp;nbsp;grand-père&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Valcke" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Louis Valcke&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;lorsqu'il travaillait pour&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Morton_Stanley" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Henry Morton Stanley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;au Congo dans les années 80 du 19ème siècle.&amp;nbsp;HM Stanley étant connu pour sa phrase lorsqu'il retrouva&amp;nbsp;David Livingstone en 1871 avec un&amp;nbsp;"&lt;/i&gt;Dr. Livingstone, I presume&lt;i&gt;?" mais cela était bien avant d'aller au Congo. Je vais bientôt écrire un résumé de cet échange et expliquer pourquoi&amp;nbsp;Sir Henry Morton Stanley a donné sa bouilloire (en fait un &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samovar"&gt;samovar&lt;/a&gt;) à Louis Valcke. Le récit est passionnant et à mon avis ferait un très bon film.

Sa prochaine expédition est une tentative en solitaire aller-retour vers la position du pôle Nord magnétique de 1996 en partant de Resolute Bay au Canada.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14655670-7266979512398304530?l=louphi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://louphi.blogspot.com/feeds/7266979512398304530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14655670&amp;postID=7266979512398304530' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14655670/posts/default/7266979512398304530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14655670/posts/default/7266979512398304530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://louphi.blogspot.com/2010/02/baikal-expedition-conference.html' title='Baikal Expedition conference'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/S3bIOd7GpmI/AAAAAAAAA4g/-6qgkm5_O1w/s72-c/Baikal-expedition.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655670.post-1890063707358782206</id><published>2010-01-31T23:39:00.018+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-04T09:55:42.559+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='adventure'/><title type='text'>London Adventure Travel Live</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/S2YoTXgtz1I/AAAAAAAAA34/Zrvizpuhlzo/s1600-h/SkyCar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="143" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/S2YoTXgtz1I/AAAAAAAAA34/Zrvizpuhlzo/s200/SkyCar.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color:black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/S2YoVCQ-74I/AAAAAAAAA4A/r2t6prpKroI/s1600-h/Photographer_of_the_year.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="143" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/S2YoVCQ-74I/AAAAAAAAA4A/r2t6prpKroI/s200/Photographer_of_the_year.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ENG: I went the entire weekend to the &lt;a href="http://www.adventuretravellive.com/"&gt;Adventure Travel Show in London&lt;/a&gt;. I wasn't interested in all the so called adventure guiding companies but I caught back with the British adventure world. I showed my photo books and Simpson desert trailer to National Geographic TV and to someone from the Royal Geographic Society. The best part was to listen to the speeches of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Scott"&gt;Doug Scott&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.alexhibbert.com/"&gt;Alex Hibbert&lt;/a&gt;, Charlie McGrath, &lt;a href="http://www.skycarexpedition.com/"&gt;Neil Laughton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.primaljourney.com/"&gt;Tarka L'Herpinière&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.thegreatbigpaddle.com/"&gt;Dave Cornthwaite&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.alastairhumphreys.com/"&gt;Alastair Humpreys&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.benedictallen.com/"&gt;Benedict Allen&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://sarahouten.co.uk/"&gt;Sarah Outen&lt;/a&gt;. I also had a chat with desert specialist &lt;a href="http://sam-mcconnell-expeditions.com/"&gt;Sam McConnell&lt;/a&gt;. I unfortunately missed Simon Yates "the man who cut the rope" as I had beers for him, advice given by our common friend &lt;a href="http://louphi.blogspot.com/2008/09/catching-up-with-brigitte-muir.html"&gt;Brigitte Muir-Koch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The unexpected meetings of the weekend was a facebook French friend who was also in London for the opening of the French "Boulangerie" of one of her friends on Fleet street. She's one of the few friends I have and actually never met physically before. I even worked a bit to make the rasberry cakes for the day. In the train I met a professional make-up artist who could easily transform anyone's face into a zombie or half dead full bloody injured person.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;FRA: J’ai été tout le weekend au &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adventuretravellive.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Adventure Travel Show de Londres&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;. Je n’étais pas intéressé par les agences de tour guidé mais j’ai pu me replonger dans le cercle des aventuriers Anglais. J’ai montré mes livres photo et la bande annonce du Simpson desert trek à National Geographic TV et à une personne de la Royal Geographic Society. Le principal intérêt de cette foire fût les conférences d’aventuriers de &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Scott"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Doug Scott&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alexhibbert.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Alex Hibbert&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;, Charlie McGrath, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.skycarexpedition.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Neil Laughton&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.primaljourney.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tarka L'Herpinière&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thegreatbigpaddle.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dave Cornthwaite&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alastairhumphreys.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Alastair Humpreys&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.benedictallen.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Benedict Allen&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt; et &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://sarahouten.co.uk/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sarah Outen&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;. J’ai également discuté avec un specialiste  du désert &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://sam-mcconnell-expeditions.com/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sam McConnell&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;. J’ai malheureusement loupé la conférence de Simon Yates "the l’homme qui a coupé la corde". J’ai quelques bières pour lui, idée cadeau de notre amie commune &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://louphi.blogspot.com/2008/09/catching-up-with-brigitte-muir.html"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Brigitte Muir-Koch&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;La rencontre inattendue de ce weekend fût avec une connaissance de facebook (jamais rencontré physiquement) qui était aussi à Londres pour l’ouverture d’une patisserie d’un ami sur Fleet street. J’ai un peu travaillé à la préparation de tartelettes aux framboises. Dans le train j’ai rencontré une artiste maquilleuse professionnelle qui pourrait facilement transformer le visage de n’importe qui en zombie ou blessé grave recouvert de sang.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14655670-1890063707358782206?l=louphi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://louphi.blogspot.com/feeds/1890063707358782206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14655670&amp;postID=1890063707358782206' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14655670/posts/default/1890063707358782206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14655670/posts/default/1890063707358782206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://louphi.blogspot.com/2010/01/london-adventure-travel-live.html' title='London Adventure Travel Live'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe LONCKE</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/111368159789718233559</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0A2nbTfi0y4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/2SlXhgmgZgw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/S2YoTXgtz1I/AAAAAAAAA34/Zrvizpuhlzo/s72-c/SkyCar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655670.post-6847357775368595660</id><published>2010-01-06T18:17:00.028+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-07T16:33:45.393+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Dixie Dansercoer</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/S0X8tOgsbZI/AAAAAAAAA2E/taHPpntt9IY/s1600-h/Dixie-Dansercoer-Louphi-Loncke.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yZjPvcLsrSY/S0X8tOgsbZI/AAAAAAAAA2E/taHPpntt9IY/s200/Dixie-Dansercoer-Louphi-Loncke.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ENG: I met &lt;a href="http://www.circles.cc/"&gt;Dixie Dansercoer&lt;/a&gt; today at his home.

The second day was very bad and snowy but the temperature in the water is always warmer than outside!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;FRA: &lt;i&gt;J'ai terminé ma certification de plongeur sous glace PADI.

A pulka like this &lt;a href="http://www.soloice.com/halldor.html"&gt;one&lt;/a&gt; from the soloice expedition of &lt;a href="http://www.cameronmsmith.com/"&gt;Cameron Smith&lt;/a&gt;. Basically, I try to make it smaller thus lighter and maybe stronger. So the pulka is on skis to reduce dragging on soft snow/slush and help avoiding snow to be blocked and accumulate against the pulka during a snow storm. It opens and using the walking poles the cover can be kept open and strong. For the feet part, the small room behind pops out like a matchbox. All seethrough parts are supposed to be tent-canvas. The orange part is the room under the sleeping room. Openings allow to reach food, equipment or fuel. All white parts are made of carbonfiber and kevlar. I plan to have nice warm colors inside to help getting the spirits high when in a snowstorm for days. Maybe have survival blanket film as wallpaper. It should float and weight less than 10kg so that it could possibly put on the back with straps and be used as a backpack when hauling impossible. I designed this with Google Sketchup. My previous cart, the "&lt;a href="http://simpson-desert-trek.blogspot.com/2008/04/camwheel-camel-on-wheels.html"&gt;Camwhee&lt;/a&gt;l" was designed with my dad and built in less than 3 weeks and is probably still the &lt;a href="http://simpson-desert-trek.blogspot.com/2008/07/wish-him-luck.html"&gt;strongest hauling cart on wheels&lt;/a&gt; for humans in the world.  It helped me the break a world record and make a world first in desert crossing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;FRA: J'y pense depuis plus d'an et voici aujourd'hui la première ébauche de l'idée d'une pulka danslaquelle on peut dormir. Idée basée sur &lt;a href="http://www.soloice.com/halldor.html"&gt;ceci&lt;/a&gt; de l'expedition soloice de &lt;a href="http://www.cameronmsmith.com/"&gt;Cameron Smith&lt;/a&gt;. J'essyer d'améliorer la pulka en diminuant sa taille et en l'allégeant, voir ela renre plus solide. Elle est sur skis pour diminuer le frottement en la tirant dans la poudre ou neige fondante. Aussi pour éviter l'accumulation de neige lors d'une tempête de neige. Elle s'ouvre et on bloque le toit avec les bâtons de marche. La partie arrière sort comme une boîte d'allumettes et sert à loger les pieds. Les parties transparentes sont considérées comme de la toile de tente. La partie orange est la partie rangement pour vivres, fuel, équipement est accessible via des trappes sous la zone de couchage. Les parties blanches sont en fibres de carbone et kevlar. Je veux de couleurs chaudes à l'intérieur pour garder la bonne humeur lors de longues journées en pleine tempête de neige. Ou alors tapisser les parois de couverture de survie. Ca doit pouvoir flotter et peser moins de 10kg afin de pouvoir être transportée sur le dos avec un système de portage lorsqu'il est vraiment impossible de la tirer.

I'm already starting to plan my expeditions for the next 2 years. But here are some photos taken mainly in Everest Base camp. I met there &lt;a href="http://www.supersherpas.com/"&gt;Apa Sherpa&lt;/a&gt;, who just climbed Everest for the 19th time yesterday (no one has climbed that peak so much). Next to us is Joseph from my "&lt;a href="http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/"&gt;Chocolate Sherpa expedition&lt;/a&gt;" Unfortunately Norbert became affected with AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness) and had to turn back and go down just 2 hour from the base camp. I experienced AMS as well 3 days before him, but I got more lucky and could finish my walk I had started in Katmandu. I walked over 400 km and our team organized the highest chocolate tasting in the world to raise funds for the Nepal Mobile Hospital project. It was of course Belgian chocolate and the new &lt;a href="http://www.acticoa.com/"&gt;super antioxydant ACTICOA&lt;/a&gt; chocolate from &lt;a href="http://www.barry-callebaut.com/"&gt;Barry-Callebaut&lt;/a&gt;. You'll find more info about this on the blog and you can download the project brochure in 15 languages and send it to the world. Feel also free to make a donation for this Mobile Hospital.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;FRA: Je suis de retour au boulot après une semaine de maladie depuis le retour du mois passé au Népal. J’ai commencé à planifier les expéditions pour les 2 prochaines années. Voici déjà quelques photos du camp de base de l’Everest. J’y ai rencontré &lt;a href="http://www.supersherpas.com/"&gt;Apa sherpa&lt;/a&gt;, qui vient de réussir sa 19ème ascension de l’Everest hier (personne ne l’a gravi autant de fois que lui). A côté de nous, Joseph de &lt;a href="http://chocolate-sherpa.blogspot.com/"&gt;l’expédition "Chocolate Sherpa"&lt;/a&gt;. Malheureusement, Norbert a eu le mal des montagnes 2 heures avant d’arriver au camp de base et a fait demi-tour. Moi aussi j’avais la maladie depuis 3 jours déjà mais j’ai dû être plus chanceux et j’ai pu terminer la marche commencée à Katmandou. J’ai donc parcouru plus de 400km et l’équipe à organisé la plus haute dégustation de chocolat au Monde pour récolter des fonds pour le projet de l’hôpital mobile. Le chocolat était évidemment Belge et c’était le &lt;a href="http://www.acticoa.com/"&gt;nouveau chocolat super anti-oxydant ACTICOA&lt;/a&gt; de &lt;a href="http://www.barry-callebaut.com/"&gt;Barry-Callebaut&lt;/a&gt;. Vous trouverez de plus amples informations sur le blog de l’expédition où vous pouvez télécharger la plaquette du projet en 15 langues et l’envoyer au monde entier.

Lundi, j'ai participé à un débat organisé par &lt;a href="http://www.amisdelaterre.be/"&gt;les amis de la terre&lt;/a&gt; dont le sujet était comment faire une campagne pour diminuer notre consommation d'eau en bouteille. Pour 1 litre d'eau bue, 3 litres d'eau potable ont été nécessaire et près d'un demi litre de pétrole est utilisé dans la fabrication du plastique et du transport. Dans nos pays, l'eau du robinet est très bonne à la consommation et l'eau en bouteille n'est pas forcément meilleure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mardi soir, j'ai été invité par la &lt;a href="http://www.cciwapi.be/cciwapi/fr/agenda_manifs_20081014.html"&gt;chambre de commerce et d'industrie de la Wallonie Picarde&lt;/a&gt;.

Brigitte was born in Belgium and became Australian citizen. She was the first Australian woman (first person born in Wallonia-Belgium)on top of the Everest and she was also the very first Australian/Belgian who climbed the 7 summits (highest summit of each continent) and did other adventures  in deserts and even a small trip to the south pole. After contacting her, we finally met in Liège for a few hours where we shared Belgian beers (what else?!), adventure ideas, etc... I also filmed her answering some questions about her experience about the Australian deserts. I now think I have enough material to start writing a storyboard for my &lt;a href="http://simpson-desert-trek.blogspot.com/"&gt;Simpson desert trek&lt;/a&gt; documentary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FRA: J'ai rencontré &lt;a href="http://www.adventureplus.com.au/"&gt;Brigitte Muir-Koch&lt;/a&gt; pour la première fois il y a une trentaine de mois à Sydney.

Brigitte est née en Belgique et est devenue Australienne. Elle fût la première personne de Wallonie à conquérir l'Everest et la première personne de Belgique a gravir les 7 sommets (le plus haut sommet de chaque continent). Elle réalisa d'autres aventures dans les déserts et même un petit trip au pôle sud. Après l'avoir contactée, nous avons finalement partagé des bières à Liège et discuté de projets d'aventures, etc...

Too slow to even make it halfway through. Then I strived to continue hard, even harder and the hell of the North became a paradise in the South. I made it just in time to become the first person to walk the length of the Simpson desert (most arid one) in Australia. My adventure was completely unsupported (no fooddrops, no resupply, no support vehicle around).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see and read it here : &lt;a href="http://simpson-desert-trek.blogspot.com"&gt;Simpson Desert Trek&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;FRA: Il y a 5 semaines, j'étais au milieu de nullepart dans le désert de Simpson en Australie, prêt à abandonner car ma progression était très lente. Trop lente pour même atteindre la moitié de mon défi. J'ai finalement trouvé les motivations pour continuer et même pousser encore plus fort à travers l'enfer du Nord de ce désert. Et puis j'ai atteint le paradis au Sud et ce fût plus facile. J'ai réussi juste à temps et je suis devenu la première personne à traverser le désert (le plus aride) de Simpson en Australie sur toute sa longueur.

Stress and decision taking in extreme environments. That kind of sentence makes me thrill. Well, I took a direct train from Brussels to Paris and attended that open discussion at the &lt;a href="http://www.zango.fr/"&gt;Zango café-bar in Paris&lt;/a&gt;. It was jointly organised by the "&lt;a href="http://www.la-guilde.org"&gt;Guilde Européenne du Raid&lt;/a&gt;" and the &lt;a href="http://www.societe-explorateurs-francais.com/"&gt;Society of French explorers&lt;/a&gt;.

It was great to meet Régis who I had called a few months ago to ask advices on water consumption. I was also invited to speak about my Simpson desert trek expedition. Lots of questions were asked by the audience. I also had a quick radio interview for a University radio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;FRA:Psychology of explorers. Psychologie des explorateurs. Stress et prise de décision en milieu extrême. C'est le genre de phrase qui me fait frissonner. Et donc, j'ai sauté dans un train Bruxelles-Paris et assisté à cette discussion ouverte au &lt;a href="http://www.zango.fr/"&gt;Zango café-bar à Paris&lt;/a&gt;. Organisé par la &lt;a href="http://www.la-guilde.org"&gt;Guilde Européenne du Raid&lt;/a&gt;" et la &lt;a href="http://www.societe-explorateurs-francais.com/"&gt;Société des Explorateurs Français&lt;/a&gt;.

Ce fût très intéressant d'entendre comment on a du mal à se rendre compte qu'on a atteint ses limites et que on devient inconscient que l'on commence à prendre des mauvaises décisions troublé par un jugement faux. Et j'ai enfin pu rencontrer Régis que j'avais appelé il y a quelques mois pour lui demander des conseils sur la consommation d'eau.

Forget a plastic bag in last pickup car that brought me. The bag contained my goretex-like strong rainjacket. I buy K-way rainjacket at visitor center. Ask permission to sleep in emergency hut at foot of Cradle Mt. start 18h – kichen hut 21h30.&lt;br /&gt;On overland&lt;br /&gt;D2 up at 4h50, summit cradle at 6h15, summit barn bluff at 12h15, go 2 huts further&lt;br /&gt;D3 summit pelion west at 16h&lt;br /&gt;D4 summit Ossa at 16h, arrive hut 20h (kia ora)&lt;br /&gt;Off track&lt;br /&gt;D5 Xmas day : snow, follow kia ora creek south bank, rain, mud, snow. Very cold. Impossible to get proper GPS points, sometimes can see Mt Massif, very slow progression, end of day I start slow clim towards big gun pass. Sleeping bag is wet, clothes too (no spares), I finally decide to sleep naked to try to dry sleeping bag with body, takes forever.&lt;br /&gt;D6 sick, leave at 11 when warmer, don’t reach the pass yet&lt;br /&gt;D7 reach pass, excellent views of acropolis, sleep probably not too far from Mt Eros (cannot see as fog)&lt;br /&gt;D8 bush bashing till a lake, later reach lake elysia, too tired, too late, fall through knees, I cannot climb towards minotaur, I decide to go down labyrinth to pine valley hut. Take very long time as I can only go down backwards (no power in knees)&lt;br /&gt;Overland&lt;br /&gt;D9 reach narcissus hut by 12h15, summit Gould by 18h, back at hut 21h&lt;br /&gt;Cuvier route (not a maintained track anymore)&lt;br /&gt;D10 route not easy to follow. Summit Olympus 20h00&lt;br /&gt;D11 slow and tired, reach lake st clair at 13h15, rest, make a few calls, leave at 18h30 to Mt Rufus. Stop underway by 21h30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D12 Happy new year! Summit Mr Rufus 12h30. go down to gingerbread hut and gingerbread track to A10 18h30. Meet first people of the year, talk to them, hard to refuse wine !&lt;br /&gt;D13 track to King William 1, summited at 14h, off track across the range, when 19h at last hill before going down to divide creek (4285-53205)…notice cannot find my jumper (containing compass, headlight,whistle). Put backpack down, take GPS point, run back to KW summit. No jumper, in half darkness try to backtrack on same path I used during the day. Damn lucky to find a black jumper in the darkness with no light ! run back to backpack… GPS is wrong, cannot find it. Pass all night fighting against the cold climbing up and down the hill, scanning the mountain (yeah no kidding) having a 15min break every hour to “sleep” until cooled down. Find backpack by 6 am, sleep to 9h. &lt;br /&gt;D14 go down, then uphill to second part of the range, the chosen path is very dangerous, often scrambling vertically holding onto grass and roots. Loose beanie and watch in the scrub. Sleep at lake Anne, wonderful place.&lt;br /&gt;D15 rather easy day, summit King William 2 by 12h15&lt;br /&gt;D16 rest of range is rather ok, but can be risky in some places. Summit King William 3 by 10h. at the end of the range, I see entire valley, I see a line in the distance, I use monocular : it’s the disused airfield. I go down SE, very dangerous as slope is 80degrees at times, I just throw my pack 20m several times down and literally slide myself holding on to the grass or jumping from the cliffs in the neighboring trees. It’s jungle now and wet, the entire plain is filled with leeches everywhere. Heavy rain all night, impossible to count all leeches on the net of the tent.&lt;br /&gt;D17 airfield at 14h. But the track is gone. I walk SSE and by 17h I find what’s left of the track, going downhill into a dense forest. Every 50-100m or so there’s pink tape, but the track is overgrown, very hard to follow…on instinct. By 19h I get lost, walk till 21h in the dark with my leech friends.&lt;br /&gt;D18 aim of the day, cross the river Gell river. I reach it by 19h30. With 3 days of rain, the current is strong, width around 10-12m. I remove clothes, put half on my stuff in 59liter drybag and swim accros. Swim back and again with rest of stuff. I’m cold but start to walk asap to get warm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D19 (08/01/2007) – leave by 13h, walk to start of Denison range, reach 52940&lt;br /&gt;D20 wonderful day, reach lake Rhona, meet hikers including a Belgian Sheila.&lt;br /&gt;D21 follow rasselas track to Gordon river. The track has been changed and crosses river a few km after the gordonvale farm. I do not cross the river and follow it south on the west bank. I reach the river by 23h, my headlight is useless in the scrub, so I walk both hands in front of me lead by the sound of the water. Am I an animal now?&lt;br /&gt;D22 I cross the Gordon, knee deep. Very easy. It’s hard to find my way with no GPS reception. But I suddenly reach the adamsfield track at 19h, later cross the fallen bridge on the Florentine river, meet people on the other side. One leads me on a well marked track to the B61. He’s there to protest against the logging. I pitch my tent at 21h on the side of the road.&lt;br /&gt;D23 I hitch to Maydena, make a few calls and hitch back to the sameplace. Walk on the road (easy but boring) the on the C607 to the Mt Anne track. I reach the hut at 21h30. 2 people in the hut do not believe some set walking at 19h in the rain.&lt;br /&gt;D24 too tired, and last hut before the end, I write my diary till 16h, notice I’m halfway with the food then start to walk to Mt Anne. Summit at 19h. Back on main track I continue till I’m sure I’m on the track (close to a cairn)&lt;br /&gt;D25 muddy, rain, mud pools, finish Mt Anne circuit, and reach Edgar dam at 21h30.&lt;br /&gt;D26 walk to scotts dam peak, use mackays track and alpha moraine. Reach and summit Mt Hesperus by 22h, sllep on the top.&lt;br /&gt;D27 summit Mt Orion at 19h, camp at lake Oberon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D28 (17/01/2007) Summit Pegasus 9h, Capricorn 12h, Taurus 20h15 walk to Lake Haven 22h. I notice I skinny, I decide from now on to eat more.&lt;br /&gt;D29 summit Scorpio 11h, Phoenix 16h, reach lake promontory 13h30. Crags of Andromeda in darkness is very hard to lake Rosanne 23h30. My feet hurt very much, painful as burnt.&lt;br /&gt;D30 diary, leave at 14h30. Reach 52145 by 21&lt;br /&gt;D31 leave at 10h, rain all day, I camp a few 100 meters of Federation peak (FP)&lt;br /&gt;D32 bad weather, stay in tent, no photos, got a swollen calf (start of infected leg – Trench foot disease)&lt;br /&gt;D33 bad weather in morning, clear up at 15h, let’s go. Leave tent and stuff, just go with camera and musli bars. Summit FP at 16h. going down meet 3 guys going up. Go back to tent, reach their camp by 20h. walk a bit further to tiny camp spot on the track they told me. Underway fall from 4 m high on my back, 2 backpacks is a good shock absorber, I just felt the gas canister in my spine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D34 (23/01/2007) – going down, quiet dangerous when wet, so slow. Walk on track until a dense forest (around 4640). 21h30.&lt;br /&gt;D35 going on the farmhouse creek track is hard, muddy… I miss the junction and end up at the end on the gravel road, 14h30. I turn back and knowing my speed I roughly know when to slow down and pay attention to an indication of a side track to lake Sydney. I find it at 17h. I reach lake Sydney at 20h. I follow the east side of the lake to the south and camp at 21h.&lt;br /&gt;D36 very hard in the scrub to reach Mt Bobs. But even if I’m as close a 200m from it, the wind is blowing hard and it’s freezing. I don’t go for it. I go South. I can only cover 2-3 km that day. Hell has started. Climbing bobs’s knob 1 is extremely hard and dangerous, it’s a chaos of massive rocks with dense strong scrub. Usually I try to find my camping spot by 7pm so I’ll find it before 8pm. Now I know that a good camp spot is important. I start searching by 6 pm. I find something exposed in the scrub, 2 square meters, where I dig around to be able to put my tent. I sleep on roots, in the rain, with the strongest wind I ever had. I survive the cold by burning gas in my tent during 30 min per hour for the most of the night. The wind is just shaving the heat off the tent. I manage to burn holes in my tent net, in my sleeping bag and my polyprop shirt. Cold, hungry, thirsty.&lt;br /&gt;D37 I finally get out of my tent in the early afternoon hoping for blue sky soon. I go down SE and hope to find a place with no trees to get a GPS point. (I head, I guess towards (bobs map) 4.69,5N-52.01,0) Progression is slow and hard in the pandanus trees. By 19h I start looking for a flat place. After an hour of looking while still trying to go SE, I camp between pandanus trees. The tent is not tight, heavy rain all night.&lt;br /&gt;D38 When I open the tent I discover it wasn’t rain, it hailed all night. About 2 cm of iceballs as big as beans around me. Good sign as I lacked water. My calf is not improving, it gets bigger. By 15h I reach low dense vegetation. I walk in it till 19h.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D39 (28-01-2007) Weather is shit, depression day, I only do diary, eat all what’s left of muesli bars. I don’t get out of the tent for 36 hours.&lt;br /&gt;D40 weather a bit better, I have to move as I have no water anymore. During the day I cross twice a wide stream at 1 hour interval. Later that night I find out I certainly crossed the bend of the Roberts river twice. I fell in it during the second crossing, swept away by the current as it was deep. Position heading always SE:&lt;br /&gt;4.70,0-52.00,0 / 4.70,7-51.99,2 /4.70,8-51.98,8 / then from this point going SSE.&lt;br /&gt;I find a good place to sleep, putting leaves under the tent to insulate from the ground. Pain in knees +basin, dunno why. I check my body, I see it’s all skinny, the fat is gone, my muscles too.&lt;br /&gt;D41 I depress all day, thinking of friends, a few tear drops, why am I here… I wake up during the night thinking I’m bushbashing and actually doing it in my sleeping bag. I broke, I was delirious. Cold sweat and nightmares.&lt;br /&gt;D42 I think it’s day 40 (I wrote a bad 38 into a 36 after day 37 in my diary, which means since day 38 I think I’m day 36). I think I should have been at the end by now, but I’m far from it. No idea where I am. I get out and decide to head South (let’s say along 4.71,0) and not to climb La Perouse. I’ll go for Precipituous Bluff instead.&lt;br /&gt;During the day I decide to go SW towards the Salibury river. Later, I decided to escape by that river (4.71,0-51.97,0) I go down into extremely steep slope. I reach the river (tiny stream) by 20h. I walk on the rocks in the river bed until 21h where I camp on the river bank on a very flat nice spot.&lt;br /&gt;D43 (start around position (4.70,3-51.96,4). I follow the tiny stream which wasn’t the river but was kinda parallel to it as it joins a much wider stream with current. I cross it to be on the West side. I probably reached around (4.68,0) that day. Still no GPS coverage. Batteries might have not lasted the cold after all these days. I carried 3 sets of rechargeable AA and 20 alcaline AA. All almost dead. GPS died that day, probably humidity inside. And don’t need it’s compass anymore as I follow the river.&lt;br /&gt;D44 I know these point for sure - 17h: 4.66,0-51.96,3 – 18h: 4657-51.96,2 – 20h30: 4.65,5-51.96,0&lt;br /&gt;(The only time I have left is in my camera)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;D45 (03/02/2007) leave at 10h join New river at 10h30. My progression is faster. Luckily there has been sun for 2 days now and no rain so the level of water should not raise.&lt;br /&gt;D46 I wake up by a tiger at 7h, just kidding. Probably a Devil as the noise is loud and scary. I hear it like fighting with something. Walk is easier I reach probably 1-2 km/h. Soon in the morning I reach a big bend in the river, the vegetation becomes suddenly extremely impenetrable. I cover  +-300 m in 6 hours just after the bend. The bend is max 2 km away from the mouth to the lagoon but I’ll never reach it. That day I probably cover 1,5 km to camp around 4.64,3-51.87,5 and I still don’t see the lagoon. I don’t understand. Even if I’m very slow, it’s almost impossible not to see it yet, I must be still far from it, incredible.&lt;br /&gt;D47 about an hour after I started walking I still don’t see the lagoon, the vegetation is still extremely dense, I even start to ask God’s help! A few minutes later, it’s less dense, I can see through the forest, and I see some blue East. It’s the lagoon. I go East across and reach the lagoon at 11h00. (4.64,4-51.87,0) I need water, I walk in the water where it’s shallow. I suddenly notice that the bottom is hard enough to walk on it, it’s not swampy. I decide to walk in the lagoon until the end if it remains that hard. It works. During that walk in the water, it rains, it blows but I don’t care, if I can make it to the South coast track I’ll be safe. My camera dies underway due to humidity (no way to know the time now). The cold water calms down the pain in the swollen calf but the tension of the skin is still very intense. It’s swollen with I dunno what (until I was said it was an infection I thought about a small fracture or something else). I meet 2 campers at Osmiridium beach. I may be safe but I have a plane to catch from Hobart to Sydney on 09/02 in the morning. And of course I have to tell people I’m safe as I’m overdue.&lt;br /&gt;D48 I reach granite beach by 12h ??? but meet 2 hikers on the top who tell me it’s already 16h15. I must hurry to go down before it’s too dark. I arrive in the dark at South cape rivulet. I accept my first food: the rest of sri-lanka rice with a bit of fish from 4 campers. I of course eat the burnt rice in the pot.&lt;br /&gt;D49 (07-02-2007) As I know I’m gonna make it, I accept any food on my way to cockle creek: cookies, a sandwish, a chocolate bar. I call a friend from the ranger at cockle creek and ask him to pass the message.&lt;br /&gt;I arrive in Hobart round 4 pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today 16-08, more than 7 months have passed. I still haven’t recovered from the trench foot disease. The sensitivity in my toes is back for most of ‘em at about 70%. The left big one is still very numb. I really feel it’s hard to run or have a proper balance without 100% of my toes. I hope by 2008 I’m gonna be able to train again and lose the fat I gained after losing 10 kg (normal weight 70kg/1m81 – before trip after eating butter: 72kg – end : 62kg).&lt;br /&gt;PS: If some sees a person walking with a grey raincoat in Tasmania (if the person is from Tassie)… It’s probably mine (looks nice, strong, sealed black zips, Velcro on the sleeves, removable cap) with brand QUECHUA (from decathlon.com). I remember one of the 2 women who picked me up, is working at Queenstown’s hospital (I think cleaning, not nurse nor doctor).&lt;br /&gt;Cheers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14655670-798331926060710119?l=louphi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://louphi.blogspot.com/feeds/798331926060710119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14655670&amp;postID=798331926060710119' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14655670/posts/default/798331926060710119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14655670/posts/default/798331926060710119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://louphi.blogspot.com/2007/08/wild-mountains-of-tasmania-brief-report.html' title='Wild Mountains of Tasmania - Brief REPORT'/><author><name>Louis-Philippe Loncke</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/438/448/1600/DSC023041.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14655670.post-4875003985178636289</id><published>2007-06-29T11:11:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2008-02-22T19:20:55.342+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='polar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='adventure'/><title type='text'>Arctic Arc</title><content type='html'>ENG: Last week, I went to the airport to see the arrival of the 2 Belgian explorers Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer.

I started with 49 kg in my backpacks. I lost 10 kg. Because I was so late, my friend -and Australian adventurer- Chris Bray (on my right) was worried. He did the right thing and checked -amongst others- if I had used my EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon). I called just a few hours after to tell him I was finished and alive.(see his email here below).&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Chris !!

I gain weight slightly but have troubles to walk properly, I cannot even run as my mind pilots small atrophied muscles.

Puisque j'étais en retard, mon ami aventurier Chris Bray, inquiet sans nouvelles, a tenté de savoir -entres autres- si j'avais déclenché ma balise de détresse (voir message plus ici haut). Quelques heures plus tard, j'appelais pour lui dire j'étais au bout et vivant.&lt;br /&gt;Merci Chris !! Merci Peter !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A présent en Belgique depuis 1 semaine j'ai déjà envoyé des CVs pour du travail.&lt;br /&gt;Je soigne une sale infection à la jambe -qui s'est propagée aux 2 pieds-et mes légères engelures aux orteils et bout des doigts (pas trop grave).
