Raleigh India Expedition 12J

It's been a busy few weeks at Fieldbase in Mysore, but the Raleigh India 08F staff have now come to the end of their two weeks of training and preparation. We have learned all about navigation and expedition communications, received some excellent training in first aid theory and practice, been out and about to practice our trekking skills, visited our project sites, met the project partners and planned how the projects will run and so much more!

Our project managers have barely had a minute to themselves and yet we've made sure that their energy levels have been kept topped up with plenty of games and activities, (yesterday's obstacle course was a particular favourite).

Everywhere seems calm for now, but it won't be long until our Venturers arrive...

We are all now eagerly awaiting the arrival of our 40 participants from across the globe and then the expedition can really get started. We've got plenty planned for them over the next four days before they will be put into their alpha groups ready to head out to the three project sites.

Don't forget to post your comments or blog messages here and they will be delivered to our staff and venturers while they are here on expedition. To leave a message, click on 'comments' at the end of the blog post.
