Preparations for Expedition 12J moved up a gear this morning with the arrival of our ten Project Managers (PMs). They were collected from Bangalore airport bright and early (or should that be jetlagged and early?) this morning by Harry, Ruth and Kallam.

| Raleigh India's Country Director Mark Ashby prepares to welcome the the new arrivals. |
 |
| Ten happy and welcome PMs. |
 |
| Mark, Simon and Paul briefing the PMs and VMs on the next couple of weeks' programme. |
As I write, they are relaxing in the late afternoon sunshine and considering who has the energy for a game of volleyball before dinner.
The intensive two weeks’ training prior to the arrival of the Venturers in two weeks’ time starts tomorrow morning.
Look out for more news once the training has started.
