superfit me



i was fittest when i served as an instructor at the bbdm camp. i could embark immediately on another expedition after completing one. for example, i would come back from a 3-day sea expedition, go for lunch and after the meal, set off with another group of campers for a 3-day land expedition. and after that, i could still go on to take another group for another expedition.

our expedition was a real test of physical and mental strength. the group had to cover a certain number of check-points before they reached their camp site. they could only start cooking their dinner when they found the final check-point for the day. yes, they had to cook their own meals and this meant they had to carry the rations with them. as an instructor, i had to be with them throughout the expedition. if they ate at 1.00 a.m., i also ate at 1.00 a.m.

the secondary students were specially selected by the respective schools and they were able to take the rigorous training. none of them has ever forgotten the challenge that they were put through.

many of those who attended the camps have made it in life and a number of them attributed their success to the lessons that they have learned at the camp. one of them who is a ceo of a global company who has been sending his executives to attend adventure training camps.
