The last few days of training have been completed, brushing up on first aid, visiting the air ambulance people to check on our proposed helicopter landing site & getting a full tour of the choppers.
There was also time for a bit of organised fun, including fancy dress olympics, quiz night & karaoke.

We even managed to get a day off, visiting the nearby islands of Manukan & Mamutik, tow of the islands in Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, just a short speedboat ride from KK.

But now it's time for the real work to start, 60 odd venturers (the volunteers) are turning up over today & tomorrow so we'll be off to Base Camp to train them up ready for starting the project work next week.  This will also be the last time I see internet until the end of the expedition so you can keep up with the official
