Messages of love from remote India...

(Above: Emma, Emily W and Edmee check out the blog at their Alpha 4 campsite.)

This is just a brief note to let our readers know: The loop vehicles have returned and all is well out at Alphas 1, 3 and 4.

Doctor Andy (Friday's guest blogger) and Paul the Builder will head out to Alpha 2 tomorrow to take much-needed supplies, so expect an update soon.

Photographer Anni Taylor and I (Peta the public relations officer) are madly sorting through about 600 photographs (I so wish that was an exaggeration, but it is not) so we can post some tomorrow and provide a more detailed update on the blog.

In the mean time, some of our Venturers have responded to comments posted on the blog earlier in the week. The comments were printed off and taken to Alpha 3 and 4, so check out the comments on the previous blogs if you're keen to hear from your friends and family who are out with Raleigh India 09C.

  1. Dag lieverd, we wachten met smart op foto's van jou als bouwvakker....je zal wel blaren op je handen hebben van het graven. En heb je weer die heerlijke douche (emmer met een gat)? Hier gaat alles rustig. hebben nog steeds geen huis voor Anne maar zijn hard op zoek. Zijn langs het huis van Maarten gefietst, prachtig plekje!. Tot snel en veel plezier bij thuiskomst in het basiskamp.

  3. Hello Allie,
    Received your letter! It was great to hear your news. I have sent two letters which should be arriving soon. All goes well at home...the work has started on the house and it is a mess. Dad is sailing with Simon and will be home next weekend. Jeremy had the Bal de Neige last weekend and had a blast. Cold and windy here. We all miss you and are looking forward to hearing from you again soon.

  18. Lieve Claartje,

    Je kaart is geariveerd. Ik ga hem onmiddellijk versturen de overige gegevens houd ik apart, daar hebben we nog contact over. We zijn diep onder de indruk van al jullie verrichtingen. Nooit geweten dat je zoveel affiniteit met cement had. Dat biedt perspectief voor de toekomst! We zijn benieuwd in welke groep je nu terecht komt. Vanwege de nascholing zullen we je vanuit een internetcafé moeten volgen, maar we toen ons best. Hele dikke kus Mamma
