From time to time I reckon all my good luck cards are used up…but then another one comes along. Earlier this year, Drew Altdoerffer from Phase One, with whom I have worked before on Skye and in the Antarctic, emailed. Was I interested in leading a Mongolia workshop tour, with Julian Calverley? If only so you can casually say to friends, “yes, just got back from Outer Mongolia”, this was not an opportunity to pass up.
Julian and I discussed it, met at The Photography Show in March, and all looked good. But as the months went by all became quiet, and I wondered if the project would happen. Julian received an assignment offer he could not refuse so had to drop out, and when Drew and I finally discussed the plan we had a total of three clients. While not classically ‘viable’ Drew decided to do it anyway, including two mystery guests from Phase One who would use the trip to field trial some prototype and new gear, and OS updates. For a landscape-loving equipment-fascinated bloke it was, in a typically British, understated way, an attractive prospect.
