Satellite phones, arrests and biofuel

I saw this story develop this morning via twitter. Andy Pag is 13,500km into the inspiring Biotruck Expedition attempting to travel around the world emitting less than 2 tonnes of CO2, and discovering how other people are cutting their footprint.

Satellite communications advice

Just a quick post before I head off to do some more expedition blogging via satellite…

Applied Satellite Technologies have supported Digital Explorer over the past few years with satellite communications equipment, advice and support. They are absolutely fantastic. No query is too complex and no project too strange. I cannot recommend them strongly enough if you ever need any satellite communications for your project or expedition.

Thanks in particular to Simon Thompson as well as the technical team who deal with all my problems without making me feel like an absolute muppet.
