Chris and Timothy surprised the team as they arrived completely refreshed carrying the whole groups overnight bags, informing us that the rest of the guys will follow soon. They surely did, completely sweaty and tired, at about 15h30 on the 16 December 2008. Well done to Timothy and Chris! At last the source of the HQ sick tent virus spreader arrived via the overlander from HQ. Not rested at all and ready to go to bed as he did not sleep at all the previous night. Well done Llewellyn, go boytjie, go!! Some interesting and exciting stories were told whilst building the electronic compasses. The team completed the compass time trial in 5 minutes and 57 seconds. This definitely indicates that the team has good organizing skills. Before ‘lights out’, the team had supper and enjoyed some music whilst completing their team poster. This group of young men shuffled into the house at 5h30 on 17 December to say thank you and good bye. Gents, the E team enjoyed your scout spirit!
