Hello all,. Time for a quick update! Had a bit of a slow day today, but managed to clear 100m of beach. We got on to the island a bit later today, so by the time we’d hiked the 1.5 hour route to East Beach we didn’t get going until noon.

In total we’ve done about 300m of beach and collected 1.5t. We’re aiming to get another 1t tomorrow. Here are some pics, from the last couple of days. I may be spending a couple of nights on the island soon, so updates may slow.

Hello all!. Had an interesting couple of days over the weekend. We had some issues yesterday when part of the team made it ashore, but in doing so the RIB (the little boat).

got its propellor caught on some rope that was in the reef. Half the team had to spend the night on the island as the RIB couldn’t get back out (they had two Royal Marines for company so we’re in good hands).

Today we have got the boat fixed and have delivered people to North beach which is calmer. The beach clean up team have beaten a track to the East beach so we can hike there tomorrow and access East Beach. Here are some pics. yes, I am wearing a fleece and a pink walkie-talkie.

HENDERSON ISLAND UPDATE."Hi guys,. So the boat was delayed due to bad weather but made up time and was at Mangareva to meet us off the plane. We managed to get underway just before sun down so have got the day back that we lost.

The ship is good - clean tidy with good food. Bit early to say how my sea legs are. Probably not as good as the ship. Here are some photos of the day. (Still definitely not a holiday!). So far, the Wi-fi is okay, so maybe more updates to come. James".
