The Met Office is kindly providing a bespoke forecasting service throughout the expedition. Whilst John needs to travel at every opportunity, occasional lay-ups will be needed as weather, injury, fatigue and ground conditions dictate.

Knowing in advance the likely visibility, snowfall, and wind conditions may be a vital tool for time-management. The forecast, sent direct to John's satellite phone, will also be displayed here at the same time.

Rokk Media Ltd is kindly providing web development and marketing to help promote the expedition. Using KKOR, Rokk Media's website management solution, John will be able to provide regular updates and progress reports before and during the expedition.

Proteus Media Ltd has kindly provided this expedition with its Public Relations expertise.
