The first day, we got there and unloaded the truck and got to building. We were building from about 12:00am - 11:00pm and we got quite far. At 11:00pm we set up the campsite and we were finished within an hour! Then we had a dinner of Potjie and hit the sac.

The next mourning we got up and had breakfast which was delishious,(french toast and bacon) and set to work on the raft, the people on the raft were Michael F, Robin, Gretchen, Arjen and Jacques. We were finished by I think Ten, then we got ready for the fringe activities which are tug of war, volley ball and knee boarding. Unfortunately we didn't win any, the canoe race we had a bad start - our canoe kept on tipping Arjen and Michael F, thanks to them we managed to come tenth while we were one of the last to start, and so for the rest of the day we just relaxed.

The next and last day we took down the tent (while I was still inside) really quickly (the wind blew it down) then we pulled in the raft and took it down in like half an hour. I guess destruction is better than construction and there was one injury. I will not mention any names (Steven). The log crushed his hand and took off a long strip of skin.

Overall we had a good time. And we came 6th. I think that was really good for a team that wanted to join up with 2'nd Kenridge.
