An important part of getting things done and being the all knowing guru of the outdoors is really just preparation! Yes some may say that it was not really needed to do practise sessions for ropework but it does help to know the areas that you are working in. Below is Mike with our cluster of ropes set up for a SAR trainning exercise that we will have them do later on in the year.
This is a photo of my boots while waiting for the taxi to arrive and take us back to the base with all of the rock climbing gear. It was actually very heavy comprising of a couple of 20-23kg (this is not an exaggeration as it had to be weighed) plus our survival gear. You can see that the one and a half hour wait for the taxi was a bit hard to take.
Here is the taxi landing which is just to the other side of my pack!
As glorious as it may seem we had also been down to a depot (that is just a big box full of emergency gear) to clean out unsuitable items. What luck some questionable fuel and a pee bucket with a couple of floaters bobbing up and down (yuk)!
