Walk

On Saturday afternoon, after lunch, Group 2 set out for their walk from Gillethwaite to Black Sail. 

The route was planned to take us one hour and fifteen minutes to arrive at Black Sail as the idea was that in Tanzania we have to reach Kinsondela from Lutengano within that time scale. 

We spent most of the walk talking about the selection and sharing each other’s nerves. It definitely helped talking about things. As the walk went on we decided to make it more interesting by putting some music on, although it didn’t last long as it wasn’t loud enough. 

Half way through our walk the group ran into a family of cows, we decided that it would probably be best to avoid them as the last group had been charged by the bull! So we took a detour around the trees which proved to be far more exciting than the original route! 

When we reached Black Sail Ian informed us that we had just made the target for that time (although Group 1 had made it in under). I think that this was a success for both groups regardless! 

After returning from our walk I think everyone in the group definitely deserved a rest!
