Thank You TWLOHA!!

Hey guys,

So I finally got my shirts from TWLOHA (To Write Love On Her Arms) and they're great! They're the right colour for the rainforest (decent camouflage) and they're a good fit! 

Here they are:

Update: Tips!

Hey, 

I've been looking up what to do concerning food, drinks etc, whilst I'm in the rainforest.

I'm NOT to take any water from any stream, lake or waterfall, and I'm only to take large bottles of clean, natural spring water or mineral water (despite them being bad for you in large amounts).

Food should really only be eaten when in times of extreme hunger etc, but I'm sure I'll keep on top of that!

I'll most definitely have to wear protective, but loose fitting, cotton clothing to keep me cool and to prevent any mosquitoes bites. My pants will have to be long and tucked into my walking boots to prevent any bites from ants to snakes.

I'll have to bring some waterproof ponchos or something to help me keep dry, as the rainforest can get particularly wet during the very long rain hours. I've also seen that talcum powder is quite helpful to put on my feet to keep them dry for putting on socks and shoes.

I'll be looking other stuff up soon, for other things such as what foods to bring and eat (although I'm sure we'll be eating something with the group anyway) and any good gadgets I can use to help me during darkness or anything else.

Update: WiFi!

Hey,

So I've just realised that there might not be any sort of generator in the campsite, which would be beneficial for me to update this blog, and talk to friends and family etc about how things are going.

Apologies!!

Hey everyone,

I apologise for the lack of posts these past few weeks, despite saying I'd post every 2 days. I've been caught up with school work, mini tests I'm doing at home, university applications etc etc etc, and I've simply had no time to update!

I promise to update more regularly with anything I find that'll be beneficial to my expedition!

Future Plans for Fitness!

Hey!

So I've been going to my school gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday lunches for an hour, and I've been coming home, doing work and then going on either a short run or doing some weightlifting with my Dad, who had gladly joined me in getting fit!

I've recently been considering doing the INSANITY challenge, otherwise known as the "world's hardest workout, without the use of weights or a gym".

It's one years worth of training, all packed into two months! You should see the results from some people, it's amazing and also quite weird to see someone so clearly physically unfit, become covered in muscles!

I don't know whether to do it yet, as it's 45 minutes a day, 6 days a week, and the only time I can do it, will be past 9pm, when I'm too tired to do anything and I'm watching TV with the family haha!
