Men's Camp 2005

The Frozen Ones

We had a great time, but by goodness it was cold!

Mind you, we buit the fire up so much (courtesy of Lee, Joel and Aaron's foraging for logs) that we were in danger of self-immolation if we got within 100 metres of it!

Here's some random pics from the event -- thanks to all for the photos.


The intrepid walkers Note that Lee, Joel and Aaron aren't in this picture, because they are off hunting for wood to keep us all warm - what heroes!		Mark Ross: leader of the pack vroom, vrooom


Commander Hans keeps the troops' morale high by regailing them with stories of derring-do in the heights of a Sri Lankan winter		Benny Hill drops by and salutes us

Aaron warms himself by the fire		Commander Hans leads a prayer for the Naked Fire-Jumping Team


Alan Kent Just getting ready to cross the Antartic		The Ripper lets the rest of the camp understand the true meaning of his nickname as he helps fan the flames for the Naked Fire-Jumping Team


Keith Beaumont smiles approvingly as Mark Ross motivates by example the Naked Fire-Jumping Team		Later that same night... If you look really carefully, at the left of the picture you can see Roger the Dodger and John Adcock shielding their faces from the intense heat - tee hee. Just about everyone else had moved out of shot.


Steve Sanders contemplates one of the other gentlemen's bottom trumpets and seemingly decides it IS the worst he's ever smelt		Roger the Dodger contemplates letting Steve discover how good an English trumpet can be compared to those namby-pamby Aussie ones...
