The
ground support crew will travel by road or track daily and meet the
paddlers on a regular 2 or 3 day basis to replenish the paddlers
with supplies. Both crews will camp every night and when possible
the ground and paddling crews will camp together.
An
integral part of the trip is to uplift the lives of the rural
communities who reside along the river. We will be glad to accept
products from sponsors who would like us to deliver their products
to these marginalised communities.
