PHILIP DE ROO (1985) APELDOORN Last year we completed a trip that we will never forget! As a team we withstanded pitoraqs, cold and all sort of discomforts where safety was our priority number 1. With immense fun we organised upcoming trip with a great team of people and supporters around us! Just let the trip happen, we are completely ready! Experience it with us! ERIC SCHLAMEISEN (1969) UTRECHT I am really looking forward to upcoming expedition. Despite heavy weather, extreme cold, broken materials and our arguments during last year's trip, I think we are perfectly prepared to fulfil our next challenge. I can't wait to leave for Greenland again! JOEP BOVENS (1974) UTRECHT Now that our departure is in sight, the tension grows. We are so busy; work, exercise, preparations, media attention and lots more. Still I can hardly wait until the day that we will first launch our kites on the ice.
