Getting Started

Right, well it's a week before we leave, but it would probably be a clever thing to put our itinerary up online for the benefit of anyone who wants to check up on us:

Depart Auckland 15 August, 13:00
Arrive Hong Kong 15 August, 20:40

Depart Hong Kong 16 August, 00:35
Arrive London 16 August, 06:20

(I'm pretty sure all of those times are local time, so if you think those are long flights, they're actually longer...)

In London, we are staying at the St. Giles Heathrow Hotel.

We register for the event on the 17th. The event itself runs from the 18th to the 20th, and is hosted at the Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre. For more on the event, see the offical website.

Afterwards, we split up -- Richard and I stay until London until the 29th (we arrive in Auckland on the 31st, stopping in Hong Kong on the way back), while the rest of the team heads home straight after the event (some of them spending some time in Hong Kong).
