Back in February we sent off an order to Walking With The Wounded. We were delighted that they'd chosen us to provide the meals to take with them to Iceland where candidates were being put through a rigorous selection process for the South Pole 2013 race later this year.

This week we caught up with customer Adam Browne, a 30 year old from Poole Dorset who has an enviable job description: chef/skipper/expedition leader.

Adam is soon going to be embarking on his Mountain Leader qualification in the Cairngorms, and was advised that he should spend some time in the Scottish mountains. The mountains are numerous, all different and the weather and conditions can turn bad within minutes; it’s the perfect place in fact for gaining a lot of experience in a short time. So, this spring Adam is planning to walk 250 miles across Scotland from the Isle of Skye to St Andrews, summiting as many mountains as possible along the way.

Will Millard is a journalist, explorer, and photographer based in the UK and has been leading expeditions in West Papua since 2007. Will used Expedition Foods meals on the Trans Papua Expedition which was sponsored by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust amongst others. The aim of the project was to map the overland connection between the central highlands and New Guinea’s coasts: a distance in excess of 1000km that would involve pack rafting and trekking through some of New Guinea’s remotest rivers and jungles.
