Planning

The planning phase for this event could not be finalised until mid year when Antarctic Division's vehicle scheduling was decided. It is understandable that some events planning takes longer than others and we appreciate Antarctic Divisions efforts on our behalf. A fuel and cargo cache was to be transported to Cape Roberts for this event. Unfortunately only fuel was cached because of cargo delays to Scott Base but the fuel cache still proved very worthwhile.

The training course briefings are an important part of the event planning. For some events, where planning decisions may have just been made prior to Tekapo or may still need to be made then some discussion and possibly changes should be expected at the briefing session. This may be the first time an event can discuss their programme face to face with the assembled Antarctic Division personnel.
