Welcome home, feedback and Photo Competition

Sawubona expeditioners one and all,

It was wonderful to see you all home safe and sound this morning.  Some of you even left your bags on the coach to draw out the experience!

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 30^th of September. 

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

We have 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

On their way home

The teams have taken to the air for the beginning of their journey home to in the UK!

All is well in South Africa

It is HOT!
Teams 1 & 2 have their last day in Kosi today. So it's down to the beach for games and a picnic. It will be so exciting to see them all on Monday! Team 3 are on Pongola so everyone has a chance to cool down with water today.

Here is a Team 2 photo to give you a final flavour of the fantastic job they have all done at the school. Like you, can't wait to see Team 1's photos on their return!

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

Arrival in UK is MONDAY

Good morning everyone,

The first thing to know is that everyone is having a great time and are fit and well.  I have been able to chat to each teams leaders but I have no photo updates.  They are either busy on Walking Trails, building green houses, sewing torn sports kit, visiting young zulus and helping them with their homework, mending shelves, spearing fish, absorbing the delights of Kosi Bay beach...  The expedition is full on and I have no doubt that you will be bombarded with photos on their return.  If anything does come in, I'll put it on!

On that note: they return on MONDAY the 18th.  

The flight gets into Heathrow at 0655. If flights are on time probable drop offs will be:
1. Gordano Services 1030
2. Taunton Sainsburys Hankridge Bus stop 1130

We will confirm the times on this Blog as they arrive, alternatively you can call the office from 0830 on 01823 451959

Teams 1 and 2 on their way to Kosi

The sun is shining and our intrepid expeditioners are making their way to Kosi Bay and a combination of Community interaction and Marine ecology will fill their final week in South Africa.

They are having a wonderful time. The Walking Trails and time on the Pongola River give them the opportunity to absorb the atmosphere of this part of South Africa and get a sense of space, life and the universe!

Though communication is slow, this photo from Team 2 has snuck in through:
