Raleigh India 10K over and out

It's been a strange old time at Field base these last few days since we bid a fond farewell to all the venturers. We've been busy shutting down the expedition, writing reports and tidying the place. It's been a time of reflection too as we finally start to realise what an amazing three months we've all had.

Tonight is our staff party where we will celebrate our time out here before we all go off on our separate ways. The experiences we've had out here been extradionary and ones we'll never forget.

We should be so proud of our achievements on Raleigh India 10K:

Community
Built five tribal house and 24 eco-sanitation units for two villages in the states of Tamil Nadu & Karnataka, greatly improving the living conditions and lives of the tribal and scheduled caste communities.

Environmental
Repaired and built elephant-proof trenches with solar powered fences for two communities in the state of Karnataka, helping protect precious habitat, boost the income of struggling farmers and decrease human-elephant conflict.

Adventure
Completed exciting and challenging adventures that included trekking, rafting, cycling and survival skills in remote and wilderness environments in the state of Kerala.


Thank you to everyone who has been involved, Mark, Anna, Deepak, the drivers, the volunteer managers and most of all to the venturers, who were a truly amazing bunch. We hope you go on and do amazing things ...
