\n\tToday we set off from Hotel Sportif to Yaounde. After hand constructing a roof rack to hold our luggage we headed south for a 4 hour journey. Travelling along the jungle roads of Cameroon meant we witnessed numerous accidents involving lorries. The roads her are extremely well built and flat which is a major positive.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe arrived at Lycee General Leclerc school to be greeted by 26 teachers and myself, Jono, Rich D and Will started the coach education as the rest of the team took our luggage to check in at the hotel.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo this within minutes.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile the rest of the team arrived at our booked hotel only to find it was being ‘Refurbished’ so had to start a hunt for a new location. With the brilliant help from Victor and the Cameroon Cricket Association, finally they found and booked the Santa Lucia hotel. Very nicely situated next to a supermarket.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBack to the coach education and after completing all the fielding drills including catching, throwing and ground fielding a very good HIV\/Aids drill was done by Jono to finish the day on a spectacular high.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA very impressive set of teachers of who we look forward to working with throughout the next few days.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe coach education will continue and be completed tomorrow.\n<\/p>\n
