Tomorrow we are leaving Rothera on the RRS Ernest Shackelton and making our journey North. First we are heading up the Peninsula and visiting various bases including; Palmer, Verdanksy and Green Island.
From there we are heading to the Falklands to drop a few of the Rothera summer and my wintering team off to catch an MOD flight back to the UK. A few of us are then heading to Monte Video where we are doing a crew change over, I get almost 3 weeks there so lots of beach time and a bit of time to reintegrate into society.... From there it's 3 weeks back to the UK!! So I will be home in mid June ready for the gliding season...if I can remember how to do it!
So excited to start my journey on the ship, but also very sad to be leaving this incredible continent...but who knows, I may return!?
