Almost at checkpoint 8....187 miles in, 73 miles to go

Just a very quick post, Charlie and Sophie just saw the boys at a section of the river called "The Nursery", which is 187 miles in. During the past few hours, the team have traversed some heavy rapids through the night and the light is just beginning to come up now which should help.

The boys are in much better spirits and really determined and pushing to get through before the time deadline. The girls are also feeling good (as good as can be expected anyway!) and will next meet the team at checkpoint 8, the 200 mile mark.

The team have now been paddling for about 69 hours and are doing a fantastic job! Lots of people at different checkpoints are keeping an eager eye on the Camel's progress and everyone is rooting for them to finish. Come on Camels, only 73 miles left, you can do it!
