Welcome home, feedback and Photo Competition

Namaste expeditioners one and all,

It was wonderful to see you all home safe and sound this afternoon.

Just a couple of things:

1.    Your feedback is really important to us.  If you have a moment to let us know your thoughts about your expedition, they would be very valued.

2.    PHOTO COMPETITION!  Please do send us any photos or videos that you took whilst in South Africa.  The winner with the best shot will get a £25.00 Amazon voucher.  All entries must be in by the 30th of September. 

Please email both feedback and photos to: info@outposts.co.uk.

We've created a dropbox folder for you to share your pictures on (could you please limit it to your 20 top shot and put your name in the image title). 

Very best of wishes,

Fee

Elephants in Chitwan

The group have seen Rhino, King Cobras.....  I believe the Bengal Tiger is, however, still elusive!






















Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday.

A note from Michael Kingscote

The expeditions are nearing completion. Of course, the real finish is when you meet your sons & daughters at the pickup points on Monday.
Until then we shall keep our eye on the ball!
Thank you, parents, for entrusting Outposts Ltd, with your charges.
We all hope that they have grown in stature from the opportunity we produced as an idea and that you, parents, have bought into wholeheartedly.
Your sons and daughters will have changed a little, seen things for the first time and made new friends; they also will have their own tales to tell.
We all hope that this has been a worthwhile venture for your family and would ask that you send us your thoughts and feedback as soon as you can after the expeditioners return.
I shall be at LHR on Monday to meet the flights.
Thank you again.
Michael & DD Kingscote and all at Outposts Ltd

Last day of project

Today will be their final day in Pokhara and at the school.
I understand from Polly that  on Monday she was asked to give a science lesson to some of the older students..  It transpired that the topic for the day was all about the birds and the bees!!  I am so glad they asked Polly to do that particular one!

Yesterday they spent time at the Tibetan Village, Devis Falls and the Mountaineering Museum:
