Patrol 56 arrived at Algeria, from  Crystal Pools, on the 11th December at 13h08. The patrol enjoyed their ice cold energade before building their compasses, completing the compass time trial and enjoying a cool shower. The timed team event was completed in 10 minutes and 3 seconds. This fun spirited, cheerful team departed for Sneeuberg at 17h15 on the 11th December.  

A happy bunch of guys working away at soldering and drilling and finally finding direction with an electronic compass.

The E team met these guys at Dutch Oven playing in the river and having fun.

Here are some images to share with you, the team’s experience at the electronics base.
