Olympus

I needed a camera that had to stand up to the rigours of a trip of this kind. It had to be very sturdy, ideally waterproof, lightweight and able to cope with temperature extremes.
I'm pleased to say that Olympus Cameras have kindly supplied me with an

µ TOUGH-3000 compact camera. This meets, and exceeds all of the demands above and has a host of features including full HD Movie capability so you can all see what I'll be up to with the aid of a few film clips.

Take a look here:

Olympus have also supplied a digital voice recorder to enable me to make verbal notes as I walk which can be written up at the end of the day in my diary. These, in turn, will be used to update my Blog as I go and also form the basis of my next book at the end of the PCT.

My thanks to Francesca Sanchez and all concerned at Olympus for their help and generosity.
