The team of Alpha 3 spent a couple of days trekking in their equipment and setting up their home at the BBC Camp, and have started moving sand, cement and cables for the bridge foundations. They have had some set backs with the river halting the progress at the work site, but they have worked like demons when possible to dig the anchor holes for the bridge foundations, collect the pebbles for the cement, and cleaning lots of tar from the cables ready for them to be set into the foundations. They have also been relaxing with swims in the river, and trekking in and around the canyon area.
The Alpha 4 group have been making improvements to the boardwalk around the site and moved water tanks, as well as trail clearing and preparing for the 2 day trek to the Raleigh Cabin to clear the helicopter landing site and the area ready for the work to begin there when the materials and plans are approved by the field centre management. They have also had a lot of fun down in Danum, and have done tubing on the Segama River, been swimming as well as organising Halloween and Guy Fawkes themed evenings and making some rather scrummy do-nuts that the loop particularly enjoyed!
While the majority of the groups trekked off into the jungle to the cabin site under the call-sign of Zulu 4, those that have stayed in camp have seem orang-utans, hornbills and various species of monkey in and around the site. They have also arranged a trip with the scientists out to a tree planting site, and a talk on the work the scientists are doing in the area.
