This period of project week preparation has been an exercise in familiarising myself with the rest of my group, and preparing for the trip. In this aim, we went on a biking outing down east coast park to the barrage. This was good practice as just about everything that could have conceivably gone wrong did. My bike’s chain became detached (as well as somebody else’s), and someone fell over. This was good team practice at dealing with problems as they arise, and accounting for the imbalances of skill within the group. Furthermore, it was a good bonding experience.
