到"失落的世界"是每個蝕友畢生的夢, 這裡有個圓夢的機會,有興趣的人,如口袋飽滿,不妨和Stewart聯絡.
今天趕快去買張威力彩,如果中了就去報名... :em01: :em01: Dear Valued Customers,
As you may be aware, Redfern Natural History Productions has raised and donated over US $ 8,000 to support the work of Meadowview Biological Research Station in the conservation of the habitat of Sarracenia and other carnivorous plants. The money has been raised and donated directly from sales taken through the Redfern website. Please see http://www.redfernnaturalhistory.com/conservation for more information.
In 2010, I also worked with the non-profit organisation Ibex Earth ( http://www.ibexearth.com/ ), and together we succeeded in raising and donating a further US $11,000 for the conservation of Mount Roraima – the fabled lost world documented in my recent book Lost Worlds of the Guiana Highlands. The money was donated to fund various local conservation projects in Venezuela, one of which involved fixing vehicles for the National Parks authority so they could better patrol and safeguard the Canaima National Park (the land of the Tepuis), and control illegal mining and wildlife poaching.
For those not aware, Mount Roraima is the inspiration for Arthur Conan Doyle’s famed story The Lost World. It is a spectacular plateau (known locally as a Tepui) that rises up to 1,000 metres above the surrounding rainforest and savannahs. The mountain top has remained isolated for millions of years, and so is home unique plants, animals and landscapes found no where else on earth. More information is available at http://www.redfernnaturalhistory.com/books/name/lost_worlds_of_the_guiana_highlands_-_hardback
I am continuing to assist both conservation causes this year.
2012 will mark exactly 100 years since the publication of Arthur Conan Doyle’s story, and so with this in mind, I am working closely with Ibex Earth again to raise further funds and also help increase awareness and understanding of the unique balance of life that exists on top of the lost worlds. To help achieve this, Ibex Earth is launching two non-profit conservation expeditions to Mount Roraima as part of a major drive to raise the profile of the mountain, and to help put funding for sustainable infrastructure in place. My involvement in this non-profit project is as a non-paid volunteer, and I will be acting as expedition guide.
I am writing to you in case the non-profit expeditions are of interest. The two expeditions are from Saturday 2nd April 2011 - Tuesday 12th April 2011, and Saturday 16th April 2011 - Tuesday 26th 2011, each for ten people only. Both expeditions have identical itinerary, and involve a climb up to the spectacular summit of Mount Roraima, and a three day exploration of the extraordinary features of the plateau top – from the valley of the crystals, to the labyrinth of towering stone pinnacles, and on the way, a visit to the spectacular Jasper Creek – a waterfall that flows over a bedrock made of blood red semiprecious jasper gemstone.
I will be personally guiding both expeditions to the lost world, to show those who come the unique wildlife on the plateau surface, including rare carnivorous plants such as Heliamphora, Drosera, Utricularia, and Genlisea. Visiting Roraima requires only normal physical skill, and despite the dramatic appearance of the mountain, the ascent is actually made by way of a gentle ledge leading up the vertical cliffs to the mountain top. The ledge can be walked up easily to reach the lost world on top of the plateau.
Attached are a selection of photos depicting Mount Roraima. If you are interested in taking part in this non-profit expedition, please don’t hesitate but to email me for more information (stewart@mcpherson.net). Likewise, please do forward this email to anyone who might find this of interest.
Wishing you a very Happy 2011!
Kind regards

如果還單身,我應該會去...
努力工作/存錢/辭職給自己放長假~ 結了婚/小孩也出來了,偷個閒上樓頂澆水就算奢侈享受了...
對於距離遠近的觀感真的有天壤之別!!
現在出門超過10 km就算遠~ 奉勸還單身的蝕友: 追夢要趁現在!!

那個不用自己爬啦! 直接搭直升機到那上面,
不然用爬的是高難度技術, 就算年輕也不一定上得去.
那趟行程會貴也是因為直升機費用的關係.

Stewart剛回信, 3000英磅還好啦, 再加上其他雜七雜八的,台幣20 萬圓一個夢還算值得. Thank you for your email regarding the expeditions to Mount Roraima.
Ibex Earth has planned two expeditions this year for the following dates;
Saturday 2nd April 2011 - Tuesday 12th April 2011
And
Saturday 16th April 2011 - Tuesday 26th 2011.
Both expeditions have exactly the same itinerary. The itinerary, and a detailed overview of the expedition can be downloaded at http://www.ibexearth.com/images/ExpeditionItinerary2011.pdf (alternatively, please visit http://www.ibexearth.com/2011-lost-world-project-expeditions.html and click on the itinerary document on the right to download it as a PDF file).
The cost of joining either of the 2011 Lost World Expeditions is just £3,000 - this includes your flight to Caracas, Venezuela, all of your travel and food whilst on the expedition, all accommodation, as well as guides and porters. It also allows us to raise some money for the conservation causes in Venezuela, and complete the goals of the Lost World Project. The project is entirely non-profit – my involvement is as an unpaid volunteer.
Regarding fitness, the expedition does obviously involve several days trekking, but no special skills are required. Hundreds of people climb Mount Roraima each year, ranging from children to people in their 70s. The expedition to the mountain top is a long walk, but anyone with a normal fitness level capable of walking several kilometres each day can complete the climb.
By taking part on this not-for-profit expedition, you will have the adventure of a life time, and at the same time, help Ibex Earth to continue raising money to fulfil the specific aims and objectives of The Lost World Project, to safeguard the long-term future of Mount Roraima.
All those who take part in the expedition will be invited as special guests to the premiere of the Lost World Project documentary at the Royal Geographical Society on June 30th 2011. This event promises to be one of the most talked about environmental events of 2011.
I have attached a summary report of our 2010 non-profit expedition to Mount Roraima, during which, we successfully put in place $11,000 of funding to support the conservation of the lost world (see www.ibexearth.com for more details). This will hopefully provide an overview of the experience as a whole, and I have also attached a selection of images to depict the summit of Mount Roraima, and many of the spectacles which will be encountered on the course of the expedition.
Further information is available at http://www.ibexearth.com/2011-lost-world-project-expeditions.html , however additionally, please don’t hesitate but to email if I may answer any specific questions that you may have.
If you would like to reserve a place on either of the 2011 expeditions, please could you email Chris Livemore at chris.livemore@ibexearth.com
I will look forward to your reply, and also to offering any further help that you may require.
Kind regards,
Stewart McPherson

不好意思,潑一桶冷水
2007年起,所有持中華名國台灣護照的人一律都不准去委內瑞拉觀光....
我想只有等查維茲下臺才可能吧..... SO...
20萬應當是希斯羅機場出發的價錢...桃園機場前往應當再加5萬
其實20年前,我在德國食蟲植物協會就看過...Wistuba的價碼就差不多是這樣,沒有差太多

還要再花個十萬請當地人當挑夫，因為裝備太多背不動。還要多花個十萬買攀岩裝備，專業的繩子1m1百多，1000多m，十萬還買不起來。還是花20萬坐飛機比較便宜，容易點。

去國外蠻荒之地還是花錢找專業導遊才可靠,
因為專業導遊已經把所有的旅行問題都解決了,
也知道植物的正確地點.
不然, 一般正常的當地人也不會爬上一千公尺又險要的山,
而且也不保證第一次上去就找得到植物.

花大錢直接坐直昇機降落在植物點那還叫探險嗎?
有點像''跟團''的味道.
-- 作者： jackchen

不跟團，可能花大錢，看不到東西，小命還不保。人生地不熟，還是跟團好。外國不比台灣，兩步就有7-11，野外走了2天可能還看不到村莊，沒地陪帶在叢林中走，東南西北都搞不清楚，出了事小命丟了，保證沒人找的到。探險是花錢的活動，有錢又有閑人的樂趣。

探險並不一定要克難才叫探險.
通常為了學術研究而作的探險,
常會用最好的裝備和交通工具,
直接就殺到某個地點才由那裡四處搜索.
因為如果因為裝備不足或交通不便搞得自己筋疲力盡,
也就沒力去做研究了. 若是要用克難的方式去完成一段旅程,
那目標就不太一樣, 變成是一種自我挑戰.

教主的話，我非常贊同，探險需要十全的準備，不然是找自己的麻煩，也是找社會資源的麻煩。前些日子江惠演唱會，有邀請一個紐西蘭人來聽她唱歌
