WMT News - Spring '08

Hi Friends,

It's already been a very busy year for WMT. Highlights have included:

- the launch of NEW Taste of Expedition Medicine & Jungle Living course for medics was a great success. We'll definately repeat this programme in spring '09. Here's what Dr Catherine Welch had to say about the course - Supurb. Thank you very much for all the fantastic hard work to make the course so interesting, enjoyable and informative. I now have even more enthusiasm to "get out there". More reviews and photos coming soon.

- private repeat programmes with the University of Leicester and the University of Hull and Bristol Grammar School

- a private programme (again more repeat business) with Cicada, a film production team

- we're honoured to have landed a private contract with the BBC (more repeat business having trained Bruce Parry's Tribe film team) to train the production team for the new Planet Earth FROZEN EARTH series.

Faculty News

WMT Commercial Director Barry Roberts recently appeared in a Darlow-Smith TV production for Discovery Channel in TRUE HEROES - DEATH PLUNGE as a commentator on the heroic cliff rescue made by paraglider pilot Innis Powell. Barry also recently completed his onshore yachtmaster theory course and promptly followed this up with a week of fantastic sailing in Scotland out of Oban covering 325 miles.

We wish the families of WMT instructors Dan Morris, Lucy Reed (nee Bishop) and Polly Jacobs all the best with the new babies in their families. Is it something in the water??

All the best from WMT,

Barry Roberts & Jon Dallimore
