Brathay Exploration Group once again made their way to London for the Royal Geographical Society's annual Expedition and Fieldwork conference this November. Members of the Tunsbergdalsbreen project from as far as Norway also joined in, enjoying a great weekend of inspiring talks, interesting discussions and meeting new and old acquaintances!

The Tunsbergdalsbreen project also presented a poster at the event, showing the results of their hard work over the summer. All BEG members involved came away with loads of ideas and huge amount of enthusiasm for their next adventures!

Our Club's Norway Expedition to Tunsbergdalsbreen is underway... we've been receiving regular updates by text and email.  After their 3 day journey, they've arrived safely and despite the soggy weather, are super-keen to get going.  The past two days have been spent at the Glacier Museum for an introduction, briefing and training.  Today, they're heading to the point where a re-take of the Glacier panoramic photo will be shot, then they're visiting a spot to collect some items that were left from a 1959 expedition!  There will also be regular updates on the Tunsbergdalsbreen dedicated site.

Brathay Exploration Club receives equipment funding from British Mountaineering Council. This will be used to buy a handheld GPS as part of the Norway Tunsbergdalsbreen project.

Norway expedition receives Royal Geographical Society Approval

The peer lead Brathay Exploration Club expedition team have worked hard to meet all the conditions set down by the RGS to gain approval and funding. The expedition is travelling to Norway this Summer to measure the glacier using GPS equipment as part of a long term monitoring project contributing to climate change.
