The challenges are over; the scores are in; all Alpha groups are already on their way back to our Hornbill Fieldbase and staff here are getting ready for a mammoth day ahead of equipment cleaning, sorting and packing; feedback and review sessions; administration and of course, party preparations!
At 12.45 today we will hold the final challenge – an alpha group “Bravo pull” where each team will pull one of our Raleigh vehicles down the track using a tow rope in the fastest time possible...it’s all left to play for.
By the evening, all will have scrubbed up and dressed up in honour of our Black and White Ball, complete with a traditional Raleigh skit competition, mega barbeque and music into the night.
With our venturers heading off to Bangalore tomorrow and Fieldbase packing up and returning to Mysore, it all seems to be coming to an end very quickly. Everyone has achieved so much and has so many great stories and experiences to share, it seems impossible that it was only five weeks ago that it all began.
I’ll be revealing our winning Alpha team and all the news from the final day at Hornbill on return to Mysore, but for now, it’s back to base to get ready for the day ahead and put on the dancing shoes!
Below are some pictures of Alpha One and Three on their trekking and river rafting events:
