Of the original team selected on October 31st 2009, 2 dropped out by the 'confirmation date', a 2 week period where the magnitude of the expedition was allowed to sink in. I can't even remember the names of these 2 guys but I can remember failing to understand how anyone could pass up on an opportunity like this.
It was time to select a further 2 team members from the list of applicants who didn't originally make the cut. For various reasons but not failure on their part to 'make the grade', anyone who didn't quite fit the criteria was automatically de-listed, the 2 candidates that were to fill the newly vacant places both had there applications delayed so they missed the cut off date.
The first meeting of the new team, and confirmed BAE 2011 line up was in the Peak District in December 2009. After a succesful first meet, the team was comfirmed as Duncan Cameron (me!), Anna Wakefield, Claire Marritt, Alex Toseland and Carl Alvey.
