Team 4 has arrived and they all looked ready for action and eager to go. Sian has already impressed me with the amount of gadgets she has in tow, portable fan, wireless sound system, not to mention stick-on LED lamps so no spiders in the loos will catch anyone by surprise. She’s really brought our humble jungle lodge into the 21st century.
With the risk assessments, science briefings and lessons on how to use all the technical gear out of the way, we were set, and after lunch on the second afternoon, ventured out into the field for our first taster of the rainforest and to test our newly found skills.
Febri, as ever, found the first tracks…and the second for that matter. Tomorrow we set out in earnest in our smaller groups to try and get some good data for him.
