| 14. 12. 2000: 2. Expeditionstreffen
Besides Ralf, Olaf and Markus, Christian (Markus' brother) was with us, who will support us in technical problems (solar energy, radiophone, satellite telefone, computer).
Unfortunately, there a no news regarding our permit which has been applicated since months. Markus will ask for it at the Pakistanian embassy. Financially, the expedition is nearly ensured.
During the expedition, we will perform 2 scientific studies. One will be the continuation of the study in 1999 with the food drug Inuline. The second one is on special thermical foils and their application under extreme conditions.
There will be a movie on the expedition. We will probably take along a professional team to our base camp.
Ther are already a lot of interested people for our Trekking tour, so it will take place.
The official farewell of the expedition in Leipzig will take place in the first or second week of July. The departure will be on 20.06.2001.
