Day 4: Summary

Conclusion Day

We started the week strong, with a good display of cooperation and teamwork in dragon-boat racing and our bond as a team grew from then on, throughout the week. There were low points when we didn’t communicate well, predominantly during the frustratingly difficult tasks with Eventus but we obviously improved on our teamwork and ended up winning that half of the day. The walk, similarly, was no exception in exhibiting our strengths as a team.
Throughout the difficulties and successes of the week, each individual grew in terms of responsibility and in their ability to work as a team.

Day 3: "Easy Access"

The Hike

Unlike the walk, I’ll keep this short and sweet so as not to bore the reader into a coma. For those not intelligent enough to visit Oxford or fit enough to run the optional second half, the initial 13km hike was particularly difficult. We worked well as a team, making sure no one was left behind. We overcame adversities: namely a path blocked by cows and the appearance of a team behind us that we thought we’d left in the dust. Whether we walked until lunch or heroically continued on to complete the full 26 kilometres, each individual member of our team was pushed physically and can be proud of what they achieved.

Another great success for the week.
