Schoolboy Explorers Endurance Test From 1982 Scheme
Mayo G. Spooner describes a difficult expedition as one of the hardest tests since the 1982 start of the school exploration scheme. The group mapped 30 square miles in detail and explored 280 square miles for the provincial government while crossing swamps and dense undergrowth. One 10 day trek averaged six miles per day with dog biscuits and chocolate as rations, yet reunions show the boys returned in magnificent shape, physically stronger and capable of long treks and hunting for supplementary food.
