Cape Farewell Youth Expedition 2007

I was bored so i thought id made a post on a site which is probably rarely used…i check up on it from time to time but i dunno about the others.

 I have a whole new CD (which contrasts to the other one because this one is…good) i want to give everyone one, can we have another reunion or do i have to send them in the post?

 well there you go, tally ho and toodle pip!

Hi everyone,

I can’t wait to see you all at the conference, I’m pretty sure I can make it but I have IT AS exams around then. My art project is going well, the bangin’ arctic tunes are being written thick and fast and as soon as everything gets unpacked from my recent move of house the art will be coming in aswell.

I hope everyone else is doing fine, I’ve been speaking to some of you but I haven’t heard from you all,

I’ll see you soon,

Jethro

Hello all,

Being back in the normal life is a wierd experience, I’ve been feeling a bit land sick if you know what I mean, I’m used to there being a little bit of rocking at least 12 hours a day. I’ve been recognised around school a lot and people I don’t even know have been talking to me!

Anyway, I would like to say that everyone on the boat was great and thanks to Dan, Jess, Mark, Keith etc.. for helping us with our projects and a big thanks to Colin and Suba for making this possible for us all, it was really great and hopefully we’ll all be able to meet up once again.

Tally Pip,

Jethro

Hello again, Sorry about the problems on the blog, it was a problem with the host of the website.
The first days in Ny Alesund have been great! Ny Alesund is a scientific research community which we are docking at for the next few days. The water here is wavy because weather is getting rougher.

Yesterday we went back to the glacier that I shot my video next to, we didn’t walk on it this time but we created a brilliant piece of art using the ice. We made a sort of wall with a seat in the middle, it’s hard to explain but it was incredible. While we were doing this we saw a huge piece of ice break off the glacier. The noise that it made was thunderous!

Today we went to London; it’s an island just off the shore of Ny Alesund. When we went up to the top of the first hill on the island we saw a reindeer. It was incredible, we went within a few metres of it and it just briefly looked at us and carried on eating the plants there. To those that asked I’m working on the bangin’ arctic tunes.

Sorry! We had technical problems with the website on Monday and have had to reschedule the two QA sessions with both Nonie and Jethro. We apologise if you were trying to tune in for the video diary broadcasts or the QA sessions and were unable to connect to us. We have fixed the problems and are back up and running again. Check the QA schedule for the current times – Nonie and Jethro will both be online again on Friday 21st.
