Nightmare in the Whitehaven trip

Vehicle not suitable for the mission, all soaked in water. Side wall were supposed to cover, but the plastic walls were faulty. We were served with cold salads and salami and moulded wraps! The young fellows as guides were awesome with lots of energy and they deserve 5 stars nothing else.

Difficult to reach out people and get support

It was difficulty to reach out people and get support. I called out several times and sent emails, but the responses were always delayed while there was no clarity due to weather problems.
