Prior Planning Prevents …..

It’s March/ April time and the summer expedition season looms. I am spending so much of my time browsing spreadsheets, reading previous blogs from other expedition leaders, talking to people on the phone (I had a lovely chat with my guide in Kenya on Friday) for the season ahead… oh and that process of checking whether payments have been made for expeditions too… all fun and games but I know that without this time and detail what happens in the summer when I am out in the field is likely to be compromised. So I know it needs to be done, and occasionally I look back at photos from previous expeditions I have organised and led and know that this is the unseen phase that comes to bear fruit in the summer… roll on June/ July and August!
