Our first vehicle, Bravo One, left Fieldbase yesterday to take the food drop and extra supplies of chocolate, crisps and other goodies to our intrepid trekkers out and about in Kerala. Having made it to upper camp, Alpha Three's route will today take them downhill through privately-owned tea plantations to Lakeside Camp.
A full report will be updated here when Bravo One returns with our Fieldbase staff members Sally, Paul and Deepak on Sunday 24th.

Today Bravo Two will be heading out to project groups Alpha One and Two to spend a few days with each of them. Brian, Hayley, Gavin and myself will be taking their post, messages and goodies from the shop for them also. Check out the blog again on Sunday for all the latest news from their project sites.
Bye for now!

Message for Kirsty.
ReplyDeleteHi Kirsty
Hope the trek is going well - how are the leeches?! Had a really successful week's skiing in Stowe. Weather mixed, minus 25 first day, but snow good. Girls had great time... still recovering!! The blog is a great idea - can't spot you in many photos though. Hope your kit is standing up to the rigors of the trek (try to keep it clean and we'll return it for a refund when you get back!). Looking forward to reading your journal!! Look after yourself Kirsty. LOVE Mumsie(&Padre) xxxxxx

ReplyDeleteHi Charles -
ReplyDeleteWeekend at last, looking forward to some golf with Wills, seeing G who's back from RSA, 6 Nations on Saturday with England v. France in Paris - might even be a match if Strettle, Sackey and Vainikolo see anything of the ball, and Spurs v. Chelsea at Wembley for the Carling Cup final on Sunday.
Weird to be out of contact with you for so long ..... just hope that the trek's going well and that all is good.
Love you, kiddo xx
