A Letter from the Editor<br />
Welcome to <strong>Ripcord</strong> <strong>Adventure</strong> <strong>Journal</strong>.<br />
In this issue, our second, we venture widely in our quest to find<br />
great adventures. From an article written and sent from Princess<br />
Elisabeth Station in Antarctica, we venture along the Omo River to<br />
meet Ethiopian tribes who are holding on to their authentic way-oflife<br />
in the face of commercialisation and tourism. We read how a<br />
couch potato climbed Mount Fuji in Japan. Our writers have<br />
wandered along the ancient Roman roads in Transylvania, climbed<br />
Mount Toubkal and tasted wondrous epicurean delights in<br />
Morocco. Finally, the biography of a little known Anglo-Irish<br />
explorer leads us on a journey to Everest.<br />
We aim to be the home of authentic, adventure travel writing, which<br />
serves as a starting point for personal reflection, study and new<br />
journeys.<br />
On behalf of the editorial, writing and design team I wish to thank<br />
our sponsors Redpoint Resolutions and the World Explorers<br />
Bureau for their continued support.<br />
