The last word from Tango 6



Unfortunately the loop didn't make it to Tango 6 this phase but we wanted to bring you some of their news and pics anyway so packing was put on hold as I pilfered some pictures from PM Katie and venturer Christina as soon as they came back to fieldbase!

They all had a great time trekking through Kerala, the weather held out for them and they only experienced one rainy day.


The happy trekkers



Tony and Shyam stop to admire the view down to Lakeside


The trek is the most challenging of the phases, both mentally and physically, but all the group came back to fieldbase raving about their experience.

PMs Katie and double trekker Davina, along with project partner Kalypso Adventures, led the venturers up and down mountains, through Kerala's amazing tea plantations.

The amazing view from the tent

Georgie's birthday was celebrated during the trek and she was made to wear this fetching little pink number...









PM Davina with the boys

And that just leaves us to say good luck to PM Davina, who's flown home early for an interview. We miss you already Dave!

So as we draw closer to the absolute end of the expedition, stand by for the final blog!
