Ripcord Adventure Journal 1.2 Second Edition
In this issue, our second, we venture widely in our quest to find great adventures. From an article written and sent from Princess Elisabeth Station in Antarctica we venture along the Omo River to meet Ethiopian tribes who are holding on to their authentic way-of-life in the face of commercialisation and tourism. We send a couch potato to climb Mount Fuji in Japan while others wander the ancient Roman roads in Transylvania, venture up Mount Toubkal and taste wondrous epicurean delights in Morocco. Finally we hear of the exploits of the explorer Charles Howard-Bury and the Everest Reconnaissance expedition

"The seventh wave is said to be the worst,<br />
the one that does the damage in the<br />
turmoil of an ocean gale. Modern<br />
oceanographers know this is just a<br />
superstition of the sea; they have complex<br />
wave-train theories and the laws of wave<br />
mechanics to prove it. But still the notion<br />
of the seventh wave lingers on; and<br />
clinging to the helm of a small open boat in<br />
the heaving waters of a bad Atlantic<br />
storm, one's temptation to count waves is<br />
irresistible."<br />
