	</font><br><br><font size="4">You will find that some of the photos look as though they have been over-exposed, but in reality, it is just the humidity in the air.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5174.jpg.axdx" alt="Me in the jungle"><br><br><br></font><br><br><font size="4">I have a photo of this at home - Glen enlarged it for me, and framed it!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Don't ask me why - I think I look rather wasted there.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Glen and I tried to race through the jungle.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The climb to the top of the mountain is rated as a 1.5 hour climb... Glen and I have done it in 26 minutes... actually I was confident that I could do it in less than 20 and so I did!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I held the record of taking 17 minutes to race to the top of Mt Silam, covering a distance of approx 4 kilometres through the jungle, up a mountain.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I was getting really fit (My girlfriend was proud of me). 
	<br><br></font><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5167.jpg.axdx" alt="Glen in the jungle" width="32%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5166.jpg.axdx" alt="Glen in the jungle" width="32%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5168.jpg.axdx" alt="Glen in the jungle" width="32%"><br><br>This photo shows how dense and dark the jungle can be. It was so humid there... no, not because I hadn't cleaned my lenses.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5169.jpg.axdx" alt="Glen in the jungle" width="50%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5173.jpg.axdx" alt="Me in the jungle" width="49%"></font><br><br><font size="4">You can see how muddy it is in the jungle - I became quite dirty after many trips into the jungle.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5158.jpg.axdx" alt="Look how big these trees are!" height="57%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5160.jpg.axdx" alt="Me standing in front of one of these big trees!" height="57%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5159.jpg.axdx" alt="They look almost as big as the Californian Redwoods!" height="57%"><br><br>I think these trees are just as big as the Californian Redwoods. They might not be as old, but definitely just as big.
	</font><font size="4"><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5157.jpg.axdx" alt="Beetle"></font><br><br><font size="4"><br>This was taken with a 300mm lens, from 1.5 metres.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The most amazing thing about them, is when they are scared, the curl up into little "marbles".
	</font><br><br><font size="4">It looks like a small bug, but it is actually at least 7cm long, which is actually quite big.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5161.jpg.axdx" alt="Moth in palm of hand"><br><br><br>I noticed in Borneo, most of the insects there were huge.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The wingspan of the brown moth was about 15cm wide - huge!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">They are mostly active at night, which is quite common for creatures in the jungle.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">A couple of the girls stationed in the jungles, was stationed here. Not a wise decision, considering these girls were paranoid about the insects.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">(Note: in the photo below, I still had conjunctivitis) I had the red eyes for most of the trip.
	<br></font><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5162.jpg.axdx" alt="Moth on my elbow" height="59%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5163.jpg.axdx" alt="Brown moth" height="59%"><br><br>Big and beautiful, don't you think? You can see how big the black moth is compared to the size of the telephone.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5164.jpg.axdx" alt="Black moth" height="75%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5165.jpg.axdx" alt="Moth on wall" height="75%"></font><font size="4"><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5170.jpg.axdx" alt="Plant with leaves in hexagon formation"></font><br><br><font size="4"><br>These plants were kind of special because each branch split into two, so by the end of it, they formed a hexagonal pattern.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Below, are plants known as the "pitcher" plant.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The pitcher plants are meat-eating plants - you have watch out not to fall into them because they will swallow you whole.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5172.jpg.axdx" alt="Pitcher plant"><br><br>If you just believed that, you are very gullible! *laugh*
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The pitcher plant, like other carnivorous plants, feed on insects.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">They have sweet-smelling nectar that attract the unsuspecting insect to it.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">When the insect lands, it finds the surface slippery and fall straight into the “pitcher”, where the plants juices drowns it and is digested by the plant.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">You may have heard of other type of carnivorous plants such as the Venus Fly Trap, and the Sundew plants.
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5175.jpg.axdx" alt="Me holding a dead snake"><br><br>Yes, you see me holding the snake with a leaf.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">It was a poisonous snake, and I was worried about it's venom getting on my skin.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">For example a puff adder, contact with the venom numbs the skin.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I was not familiar with the snakes in Borneo, and was not about to risk it.
	<br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5176.jpg.axdx" alt="A Tarantella"></font><br><br><font size="4">The tarantella was sitting inside the catering tent hunting.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Everyone was looking at it and admiring it, which was pretty amazing, considering I know many people who would willingly kill a spider in sight.

We had problems getting the necessary approvals for helicopters so they were grounded! I ended having to hand out most of the equipment as Glen and Paul had to sort out our use of the helicopters.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">We had to fly all the equipment to Silam before the start of the race, and our team managed to fly to Silam the day before the race started.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Do you believe that Paul managed to take a photo of me whilst I was flying the chopper? He was standing to the side of me, and took the photo at night time, with the door open ...
	<br><br></font><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5136.jpg.axdx" alt="Jeez, I would love to be the pilot!" width="49%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5137.jpg.axdx" alt="Don't you think I look good as the chopper's pilot?" width="49%"></font><font size="4"></font><br><br><font size="4">Just kidding.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">A couple of days before the race started, I was at the airport most of the day. We had some problems with the radios in the helicopters... I must have been in and out of those helicopters at least 200 times.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I did manage to get someone to take some photos of me in a helicopter, looking very much like the pilot!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I had hoped that I had the time to explore Kota Kinabalue, but we were so busy, it had to wait. 
	<br><br></font><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5122.jpg.axdx" alt="Helicopters at HQ"></font><br><br><font size="4">Here is the 212 or "Huey" - a twin-turbine Vietnam helicopter taking off. It is a hell a lot more powerful than some of the other helicopters we were using, which were 206s.
	</font><font size="4"><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5131.jpg.axdx" alt="Landing at HQ"></font><br><br><font size="4">Here are the medical guys practising abseiling out of the helicopters (Aussie style)!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">At the start of the race, I was sitting there listening to the first rescue on the radio.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">3 hours after the start, four boats had capsized... helicopters and boats were very busy!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The competitors were due to arrive at Silam (another checkpoint) the next day (21st Aug).
	</font><br><br><font size="4">For the first few days after the race started, I had to help organise to get the fuel to the top of the mountain.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">After that the helicopter came in useful. It brought up 100 litres of fuel on the 4th day so I did not have to ferry fuel anymore!

That means we had to strap them onto the helicopters, and pull them off the mountains that way - quite effective really.

	<br>My girlfriend asked me what it was for - it helps balance the load so that it does not keep swinging whilst airborne.
	</font><br><br><font size="4"><br>Below, you will see some pretty good photos from the chopper.

It was low-altitude flying of the river-bed.

	</font><br><br><font size="4">From Silam, we flew down to DFVC. We stayed there for three days before going back to Silam.
	</font><br><br><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5185.jpg.axdx" alt="Me at site of repeater station" width="100%"></font><font size="4"></font><br><br><font size="4">I am at one of the repeater sites. Here, the top of one of the mountains was cleared, so we could safely land a helicopter there.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Oh... did I forget to mention that I almost chopped one of my fingers in half at the repeater site?
	</font><br><br><font size="4">On top of my infected eye, I had another thing for the medical team to look at. The fingernail had been chopped in half and there was not much I could do about it except clean it up and try to avoid infections. The medical team was great there... they were extremely good.
	</font><br><br><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5194.jpg.axdx" alt="Site of Repeater Station"></font><br><br><font size="4"><br>We had a few problems with some of the communications gear.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Paul and Glen were handling it, and at times I tried to assist.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The first few days had been really tough.
	<br><br></font><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5193.jpg.axdx" alt="Solar Panel Photo 1" height="100%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5190.jpg.axdx" alt="Solar Panel Photo 2" height="100%"></font><font size="4"><br>The top of Silam is covered in clouds for most of the afternoons, so the solar panels are quite useless. A survey of the conditions made prior to the race was useless.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">If you ask any of the locals, they would have told us that the peak is always covered in clouds... but apparently no-one asked them!!!
	</font><br><br><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5184.jpg.axdx" alt="Generator"></font><br><br><font size="4"><br>We had problems keeping the generators running - they were using more power than predicted and there was no sun on the top of Silam to recharge the batteries.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The generator itself was a re-built petrol engine with a car alternator on it.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">We basically tried to use a system where we used a jerry can, cut holes into it, and relied on the force of gravity to transport the fuel to the generator.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">This design ended up working best for us.
	<br><br></font><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5180.jpg.axdx" alt="Site of repeater station" height="75%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5179.jpg.axdx" alt="Site of repeater station" height="75%"></font><font size="4"><br>Our helicopter pilot sitting on the side there, just grinning...
	</font><br><br><font size="4">On the third day of the race, I hiked up the mountain three times. I was really tired and all I could think of was getting a bit of a rest and some food. I managed to get a bit once I got to Danum. In Danum I managed to get 6 hours sleep before someone woke me up and told me that the repeater had died in Silam... again all the cars had to leave in a convoy... so rush, rush to find my driver and managed (just) to get into the convoy!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">The road to Danum closes at 6.30pm and all the cars had to go in the convoy.
	<br><br></font><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5181.jpg.axdx" alt="Helicopter at Repeater Site Photo 1" width="50%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5182.jpg.axdx" alt="Helicopter at Repeater Site Photo 2" width="49%"></font><font size="4"><br>The helicopter flew all of us to the top of the mountain, and waited there for us till we were finished. Glen quite often told the pilot, "You don't have to shut down, because we'll only be here for 5 minutes." Well... quite often, we were there for as long as an hour and half! (Don't worry, the pilot was sensible enough to shut down immediately... he got to know Glen very well.)
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I went up there often make sure that it was still running. It is much better getting a helicopter to fly me up there so that I can bring some fuel with me ! 
	<br><br></font><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5186.jpg.axdx" alt="Glen fixing generator Photo 1" height="75%"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5191.jpg.axdx" alt="Glen fixing generator Photo 2" height="75%"></font><br><br><font size="4">Glen has mostly been on top of the mountain getting the generator back online.	
	<br>We have to keep the generator running 24 hours per day until the end of the race. 
	</font><font size="4"></font><br><br><font size="4"><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5183.jpg.axdx" alt="Glen fixing repeater Photo 1" width="50%"></font><br><br><font size="4"><br>On the third night after the race started, one of the repeaters went dead.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I had to hike up the mountain on the previous day as the generator had died.
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I did not leave the mountain until it was dark, so I had to climb down through the jungle in the dark!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Fortunately I had my torch with me! 
	<br><br><img src="/FILES%2f2000%2fborneo_2000%2f5189.jpg.axdx" alt="Glen fixing repeater Photo 4" width="60%"></font><br><br><font size="4"><br>Paul later gave me strict instructions to make sure that I leave the mountain so that I could be back at HQ while there was still light! 
	</font><br><br><font size="4">I found out that I did not have any problems navigating at night... I even offered Paul to go back up when the repeater died!
	</font><br><br><font size="4">Anyhow, we ended up having to send the airborne repeater up!
