In some ways the past year has both flown by and seemed like an eternity. We departed for our adventure, to help those less fortunate than ourselves, on the 25th October 2007. You can see the news item on departure day below. Brings back waves of emotions I&#8217;m sure, and makes the passage [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;ll Meet Again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a month living in each other&#8217;s pockets (almost literally), some of the Trailblazer&#8217;s are finding the separation difficult and the adjustment back to &#8216;ordinary&#8217; life full of puzzling questions and contrasts. Do we need counseling? I wonder sometimes!
Sounds like we need to get together and talk through some of our experiences. If you&#8217;re a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re sitting around in the customer lounge at King&#8217;s Cross Station waiting for our train to Hull. Something bizarre has happened though, it would appear the government has ordered a large freezing device to be situated over the whole of the city of Freetown. I&#8217;m fairly sure this must be the case because when I [...]]]></description>

Well, well, well, the final day! I&#8217;m sat in the reception of the hotel with a flakey internet connection sweating (literally) over this final post.

		<description><![CDATA[Grafton, Freetown
Today was the final day dedicated to filming for the documentary. We travelled to the St. George Foundation&#8217;s facilities in the Grafton region of Freetown. This is up in the mountain behind the city and necessitates negotiating yet another rough and rocky track. Our mission was to film some of the stories of the [...]]]></description>
