Friday night I couldn’t sleep because of anticipation. Saturday night because of adrenalin and Sunday night I couldn’t sleep because I was trying to sum up the experience. And eventually I did sum it – in one word. APPRECIATIVE It might sound strange, but only if you haven’t been there. Everybody was appreciative – and I do mean everybody: all the staff; all the organisers; all the participants. It was the strangest thing: the organisers and staff were appreciative that the participants were there – as if we were doing them a favour by showing up and enjoying the event. It’s the kind of thing that can only happen when you are truly passionate about the things you are doing and the cause you are serving. You have planned and executed a magnificent event way above any and all expectations that I had. Should we have done the Video Interviews Sunday afternoon, my answer to the highlight of the event would have been totally different – I would have said that, without a doubt, the highlight of the three days was standing in that half circle in front of the LR3’s after prize giving, and the organisers and staff coming past and shaking our hands, congratulating us and thanking us for taking part in their event. It was a special moment. I would like to thank you for inviting me and affording me the opportunity to be part of this truly unique experience. I do not have contact details for other staff members or that of Roland Reid from Land Rover. Please convey my thanks to everybody in your team, to Roland and to all of the other sponsors. If I could – I would have lined you all up in a half circle in front of LR3’s, shake your hands and thank you all personally. Regards Corne van Biljon
