A gutty experience
As the course director shehan laid out a challenging event for the day, as he wanted everybody to accept and take part in it, was tough and it was possible to do it too.
Each team consisted of four boys and two girls and there was an all girls team who raced till the end. The climax for this race began days prior to the event, with teams running around Galle face green searching for clues and to gain points for their team. After all the excitement the grand finale came at sundown with prize giving ceremony and dinner, challenge seekers who became competitors were seen as friends end of the day, this is what its all about !!!
Many of these lads are White Water Rafting guides who have an all round experience of adventure sports.
