Fantastic Fox Glacier Trip! The Flying Foxers are grinning from ear to ear. Awesome day, awesome guides from Fox Glacier Guiding and awesome team. Just like clockwork. Pip and Alan were ecstatic the way everything just ticked over and the CACTI were able to challenge themselves to their limit on the ice faces, including abseiling down into a crevasse and climbing back out. Even the guides were impressed and joined in the CACTUS 5 at the end. Whirling around the glacier in the chopper put the icing on the cake of a great day. Maybe next term we'll succeed in going down under... Slideshow and link to photos will be posted later in the day.

RFL / Challenge Date
Awesome! Goed Gedaan! Wunderbar! Fantastico!
Results from the RFL are here.
You need to qualify in all 3 exercises to make the grade.G means you did girl's press ups which leads to a ? if you made the grade by my estimate.
The running is the main area to look to improve on for end of term team.
Remember, you are racing yourself and the clock - being as fast or faster than anyone else means NOTHING!
Check out the NZ Army site here.
Target date for End of Term CHALLENGE: Fri/Sat 14/15 September.
Set these dates aside. Challenge may be all day Sat or Fri night Sat.
