Patrol 50 — 1st discovery

Date: 10 December 2008

Team: Roy Harris, Terence Vrugtman, Meekaeel Barnabas, Nicholas Francis, Lionel Gafney, Fabian Gama, Kent Jennings, Ariel Mautlwe and  Darren Van Gool

 

Patrol 50 arrived at Algeria on the 10th December at about 17h00. The patrol enjoyed their ice cold energade before building their compasses and spending the night. This witty, yet cheerful, team departed for Crystal Pools at 06h00 on the 11th December. The compass time trial was completed in 12 minutes and 54 seconds. 

Patrol 50 was our first team to arrive from another venue, hiked up and very sweaty.  We were very excited to see them arrive as well as to listen to their buzz and chatter about their hike.

To them “ An amazing shocking experience”

Here are some pictures that tell their story at the electronics base…
