fit for life begins here

26th July, 15.30.
The Pathfinders finally started arriving and were immediately welcomed and put through a rigorous series of tests to see if they were suitable for the Venture. click here for more pics.
Apologies for a lack of updates to the site. The Venture was so full of action and enjoyment for all that the web editor had no time to add anything to it. Now that everyone is back home and sleeping off 9 days of relentless fun there will be more stuff appearing...
aj in charge as ever

Dorm stuff
