Day 1 - off to South Africa!

I'm sitting in a 747 at 39,000 feet, somewhere in the air between London Heathrow and Johannesburg, failing miserably to get to sleep. So begins the Great Britain Rifle Team tour to South Africa 2012 . . .

Actually, saying that a tour begins on the flight out isn't quite accurate. The team have been preparing for this for some 18 months, with team training days, corporate fundraising events and last but not least, individually handloading the 13,000 rounds of ammunition that we will need over the next three weeks.

Tour brochure now available
