Cooling Off


Mr. Henshilwood ponders......


More Eikenhof Dam





















Eikenhof Dam

For the last stage of the tour, we arrived at Eikenhof Dam just outside Grabouw, in the Western Cape.

A Private Jet?

Not quite: SA Express Port Elizabeth to Cape Town


Dune Training

In the late afternoon, the boys took to the dunes near Port Alfred for some tough training in the sand. (some cool b&w pics from Mr. Henshilwood)





Township Walkabout

After the morning's training session, the boys went on walkabout with the development squad to see their township homes - a bit of an eye-opener, but a remarkably warm welcome.



Kowie Development Squad

In Port Alfred, the squad met a remarkable youth group from the local township which uses rowing as a means of building self-respect and discipline, and offering a way out of poverty and disadvantage. The township squad joined the Eton boys for a great morning of training and interaction.
