Welcome!
Welcome to the official blog for our attempt at the South West Pillar of the Dragon's Horns on Tioman Island, Malaysia.
There is a link to this blog from our main website (the previous blog has been scrapped due to technical issues and it being a pain to update rapidly).
I thought I would take a minute to explain some things about the communication side - just so if you're interested, you know what the plan is:
Our intention is to use this blog as method of updating before we head off, during the expedition and also on our return. Figuring out communications and how to get relatively live updates is a bit of a challenge, however it appears we should have GPRS phone service on the southern end of the Island and therefore should be able to connect to the blog, upload pictures and update our Twitter. Our back up is to have some of our friends manually upload/update this blog via our correspondence through text, telephone and sending low-res pictures from a Blackberry phone via the internet or multimedia text.
Any pictures sent directly from the Blackberry will be uploaded to www.flickr.com/photos/matthewtraver.
It will certainly be an excercise in low-budget live communications!
If you have read this far, thanks for your interest : )
