Alpha 3 trekked over 200km through the desert and made it successfully to the coast for a celebratory barbeque. After three weeks of porridge, crackers and maize meal everyone did think it was all of their birthdays come at once!
The group decided to give awards to each other in a number of different categories. Pistol Paul was voted fastest walker by the group and Andy was voted the dirtiest member of the group (the white football shirt may not have been the best choice for trekking..) The group thought that Angharad was most likely to come back as a staff member and that Helen was the PM most likely to get lost. She went on to prove this by getting lost on the straight walk to the long drop in broad daylight! Louis won the ‘best dressed’ category and Wendy the ‘most likely to be famous’. ‘Alex the Great’ is listed in the journal as best day leader, but it was definitely in his handwriting so may not have been the most democratic of decisions!

Hello Angharad, it's great to hear your voice & read the group's blog; "Most likely to return as staff member eh?" Look after those feet carefully! Everyone I meet asks about your progress & sends good wishes. Today it was the ladies in the optician's. We all send our love Mum & B xxxx
Helen ! that last blog made me laugh and laugh! I have just done 4 nights in a row, 3 in CDU and your expolits of getting lost on a straight line journey made me laugh at loud! I can just imagine it... Were you singing to yourself the "ladies of the heir among the court of King Curacticus" or a " a one eyed , one horned, purple people eater!" Missing you heaps and I'm enjoying suturing pigs trotters. Got your letter too. Loads of love Karen Frenchay ED
Taffy,
GOT LOST! What a surprise, you are the only person we know who can get on the wrong bus, stand outside Debenhams and ask which way to Debenhams! Oh and drive forward in a straight line, straight into a tree, denting a landrover and saying 'OOPS! But what tree, I didn't see a tree.' It's great reading the blogs and keeping upto date with what's happening.
Love Karen and Ash xxx
