5 Week Project Managers on Sparkling Form


Following their busy Project Planning Visits (PPVs), the 5 week project managers had a chance to unwind by spending a day White Water Rafting on the Pacuare River.

The project managers had a wet start to day as the heavens opened but they didn’t let the weather dampen their spirits. The team took on the challenge with their usual enthusiasm and successfully negotiated the level 3 and 4 rapids.


No fear for Ray Mears & Alex O'C

The rafting gave the team an opportunity to see some wonderful scenery including waterfalls and a variety of wildlife. A brilliant time was had by all.


Over the last couple of days the 5 week project managers have been back at Fieldbase continuing their training. The action packed schedule has included learning how to deal with conflict that might arise within their groups and how to carry out 1-2-1’s with each of their ventures during the course of the project.

They have also been joining forces to tackle a range of physical and mental challenges (the details of which must remain secret!) in preparation for the adventure challenge, which will take place in the last couple of weeks of the expedition.


Now if everyone just breathes in a little....

Would the real Slim Shady please stand up?

As ever, time is of the essence and every available opportunity has been used to prepare for the expedition. The project managers have undergone intensive tuition from Ross each evening in a selection of games with which to entertain the venturers.


Full update shortly on Day 1 of Venturer Induction for 09G 5-Weekers!
