Our bespoke groups from St Helen’s, Hotel 1 and 2, have now finished their project phase and are out trekking. They are currently completing a 15km trek as their last leg of an almighty adventure. Both the groups are trekking on Sigur plateau in Tamil Nadu. Yesterday we were lucky enough to grab a couple of photos of them when our Country Director Mark dropped by to give them a wave from his jeep!

These photos were taken at kilometre 18 of the longest days trekking at 25km. Both the groups completed the trek of 25km yesterday and are still powering through on their last leg. We’re looking forward to welcoming them to field base in Mysore tomorrow, probably with blisters and very hungry stomachs!
Well done guys!

Claire M. Just arrived home and collected the puss cats. Very good to receive your email - not looking forward to seeing the white feet! We have had a wonderful holiday and were rather sorry to come home although it's pretty warm here too. Hope all continues well.

Hello Claire @ Echo 6! Just received 2 orange envelopes from Postman Pat. Lovely to hear about what you've been doing and glad that you get to see Bexx. You seem to be having a great time - can't imagine what state your belongings will be in by the time you get home! Carry on the good work - hope you see a whole elephant soon - but not too close.

Hi Lau Lau
ReplyDeleteGot your letter today (12th Aug), you sound like your having a great time. A quick note just to let you know - Yes we have recorded One Tree Hill. Your watch is in, I'll be picking it up next week (Sam & KP are in Cyprus - so will get it when she goes back to work), please remember we are still in negotiations about how much I will be contributing to the cost!!!!! Say Hi to Alice for me. I love and miss you lots, I've also hijacked your Ipod - got some cracking tunes on it and everytime I play it I think of you.
Keep on having fun, take care, love you AJoxxx

Martin looks like Indiana Jones's uncle, the one the family don't like to talk about that is!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Atul
ReplyDeleteBro you are having,a whale of a time,in Veerappan jungle,where once our dad was hunting hot stories on him.Do not forget to bring some Veerappan memorablia,the guy certainly could teach a few tricks,tom the original legend Robinhood.Just for example,can you point out any where in history a man with a small band of handy men killing such large number of elephents for tusk,felling many forests full of sandel wood,kidnapping an iconic actor,heart throb of the state of Karnataka,and amassing millions of rupees in ransom? they say somewhere in Satyamangalam forest his booty lay buried.No one has ever heard about a more media friendly,"king of thievs".All this in recent history,till he was killed few years ago.To give this camp a bifitting finale all of you should sit around a camp fire and discuss the "improbable in this age and time but true,legend of Veerappan-a forest brigand tuned political phinominon' .And at last he was felled,not in any way honourable,but by deception and deciet.
Waiting for you to come back with stories from Veerappan country.
Lots'a love
Ashwin
Well done guys......it looks like you are having an amazing time!!! Joanne D (chamber)

Love you so much, Jon xXx

Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteIt was so lovely to hear your cheery voice and to know that you are ok.
Just think how fit you will be when you get back! You'll have to give Dad some cycling tips for his Cuba trip!
Have booked for us to see Glyn over Xmas/New Year - details when we see you.
Have a fantastic adventure trip, hope the camera is recharged and see you on the 27th at Heathrow.
Lots of love Mum xxxxx
