An Uphill Struggle

I.T. in Extreme Environments

Jeremy White,
Hampshire Scout Expeditions

In autumn 2005 Jeremy White packed up his laptop and travelled to Tibet where he organised the base camp for an expedition on Cho Oyu, the world's sixth highest peak. His talk explores the ups and downs of trying to use computers for managing an expedition, keeping a library of photographs, staying in touch with home and keeping the team entertained. There's practical advice for travellers anywhere as well as lessons for IT pros.

He might even show a few of his "Holiday snaps".
