Playing knock out rounds the final featured Echo Three and Tango Six. Each group was fit and strong from spending the last 19 days digging a trench for 7 hours a day and trekking and cycling 200k respectively.
Echo Three - "Heave!" |
Tango Six - "Ho!" |
Echo Three - "Heave!" |
Tango Six - "Ho!" |
Echo Three - "Heave!" |
... and so it was with brute force and determination that Echo Three cinched it and dragged Tango Six across the line into the dust.
The moment Tango Six slipped over the line, crowning Echo Three the champions |
The Golden Ganesh Awards.
The Awards recognised the varety of contributions Venturers and PMs have made to the Raleigh 10K exedition, from best sleeper, to biggest casanova, to Masterchef.
Additionally, there were two special awards voted for by the PMs for Most Outstanding Male and Female Venturers. With many amazing individuals amongst the Raleigh 10K group it was difficult to choose, but the well deserved winners were awarded the prestigous accolades for their consistent contribution, positivity and inspirational leadership.
Congratulations to:

After some emotional thank you speeches and Polly B's amazing expedition slideshow that reminded everyone on what an amazing journey Raleigh has been, the music was cranked up and we partied the night away.
Then far too soon, this morning it was time to say goodbye as we sent the Venturers on their way, back out into world. Some are heading up to Banglaore tonight to catch flights back to their homes while others are carrying on travelling.
Thank you to all at Raleigh India for giving the young folk such an amazing time.
