Date: 9 December 2008

Team: Torben Buchwald, Cameron Ehlers, Kingsley Clutten, Jonathan De Waal, Kaelen Grafton, Kyle Newman, Ruedi Vogeli, Gerard De  Villiers, Jean-Jacques De Villiers, Irvine Le Roux

 

Patrol 59 arrived at Algeria on the 9th December at about 15h00 after their bus broke down. The patrol spent the night, built their compasses and departed for the next base on the 10th December at about 15h00. The compass time trial was completed in 7 minutes and 17 seconds. Happy hiking after your long break at Algeria :)  

Kyle would remember getting sun block in his eye and received eye drops from the E team to help him see where he is putting the soldering iron. The E team saw patrol 59  on one of their hikes to the cracks, at the top and a couple of hours later at the ARCH. Going strong, we are proud of you.

Here are some images that will bring back some pleasant memories for patrol 59 as well as the E team.
