After three days covering important know-how on GPS navigation and communication procedures, as well as essential health and safety practices and hazard analysis, we can finally venture out into our amazing surroundings here at Mysore.
These hard-skills are not only vital for the Project Managers themselves but will also be passed on in turn to the participants during their first few days of training at Fieldbase, so that all are fully equipped for their time on expedition.
Not to mention, that once we return to Fieldbase on Saturday, it will be time for all the Project Managers to find out what project sites they will be working on. It will then be their task to visit their allocated site at either Nagerhole National Park, Hosakeresunda or on the backwaters of Kerala on the Arabian coast in order to learn more about their locations and carry out their Project Planning.
It’s been serious instruction for us all; however, there has still been plenty of opportunity for entertainment. Indeed, our Health and Safety session saw various innovative dramatic performances, demonstrating correct and incorrect procedure on an expedition. For this we had some great impressions of big cats, elephants and even crocodiles.

ReplyDeleteHiya just a quickie from your ma and nanny. Hope all good. pa is in chicago so nanny and I are living it up here. It was fab to see the great pics you have posted and read the LONG letter you sent to us. We have all written back to you (even BEN!!) I miss you lots but i suspect it's not reciprocated at the moment. Ben is 17 next week so he can go on the roads aaahhh!! probably best that you are out of the country for this. Willow is very good still escaping on walks but very very sweet. she now sit in the front of the car in her basket and looks appalled if she has to share with anyone. We have grey skies here so I am very jealous of your sunshine. Miss you lots and will Blog again soon,
