The Madagascar 2012 Expedition will follow 14 years of world travel and community projects organised by The Coopers' Company and Coborn School. In 2012 a group of 34 year 12 and 13 students will spend one month in Madagascar, with the aim of completing the building of a secondary school block in the Merina village of Andranosoa. Pupils will also spend time experiencing the vulnerable wildlife, people and landscapes of what is a unique country by travelling to the west coast via a 3 day canoe journey along the Tsiribihina river, visiting the Tsingy de Bemaraha, Kirindy Forest and the Avenue de Baobab. As a team, we are hoping to raise £20,000 to cover costs for the charity project. The aim of this blog is to provide information about Madagascar, the team and the fund-raising project. Please visit the pages shown on the right to learn more about the expedition.

Week 3: Tsingy De Bemaraha

The view from the top was awe-inspiring. The Limestone pinnacles rise 70m above the fragments of forest that are adapted to grow in the canyons below. 


George tests the strength of the rope knowing that if he slips- he takes everyone else with him!


Mr Opie's Group make it to the top of the Grand Tsingy. 


As well as climbing and caving, the Tsing gave us the opportunity to observe endemic species such as this Brown Lemur jumping from rock to rock.

    The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel.
