The Beginning of the end......

Although it only felt like a few short moments ago that the 11J expedition began, the end is now in sight. 



The groups started arriving back in this morning from the project sites and spent the morning greeting what now seem like old friends, reviewing the last phase and sorting out all the equipment that has been used to do all the hard work of the past 10 weeks.






The fieldbase team have been working hard to ensure that the last few days of expedition are packed full of fun!  Tonight we have the skits so the groups can show us what they have all been up to and usually this has a large comedy element then tomorrow we have prepared some Fun Stations for the groups to go round before we have our final slideshow and meal together and dance the night away!

For followers of the Echo 4 group, don't worry - they are on their way back but have been slightly delayed due to a late running train, they will be with us soon though! 

Keep a look out for the last blog and photo's of all our final fun which will be coming soon.....

  4. For Lucy Shipp, Echo 3. Well now's the time for fun after all your wonderful work!! (I've taken your computer to be mended by the way...diagnosis awaited...). Haven't started Christmas shopping yet but there's always tomorrow isn't there? I'm working hard on Roo's training tho' I expect he'll go mad when he sees you. Do they do Raleigh for older grown-ups I wonder? It seems so very full of life. Have a magical remaining time in India. Love and hugs from Mum xxx (and a nibble from Roo).

  9. Hi Dan

    Looks like we will not talk/facebook/text before you leave for home? Hope you enjoy the journey. Think a nice big juicy steak would be a good idea tomorrow night eh? If you can text or facebook message us at Mumbai to let us know you got there OK that would be great. Is anybody travelling on that route with you? We are really excited about seeing you tomorrow. Take care. Lots and Lots of Love Mum, Dad, Alex, Tom, Liz and Baby William xxxx
