Activities Day 2 2010

Held at Kunderang West, we aimed to get some team building action happening, together with testing our new tents and packs (and cooking for ourselves)

Did very well too!

Here are some videos of the river crossing competition, the billy boiling competition and the stretcher making and carrying competition, followed by the world Tug of Four championships (Kunderang heats)

Just click on them to play

Activities Day 4

The Styx River forest was the centre of our activity.

There were some (ahem) geographical embarrassments which caused some of us to return late to TAS

Otherwise, a good day.
