Ellie: Today we trekked a lot which was quite tiring and my knees are killing me so badly and it's only the second day of trekking! The camels have been crazy today, like psychopathic! They kicked Aimee, kicked David, tried to kill me and Perry and destroyed a water bottle! Mind you I wouldn't like to carry all the stuff they are carrying so we should be grateful to them!

Martin: At lunch time the rhino trackers said they'd found some rhino footprints. It was absolutely amazing. The rhino was huge, massive. You know we've gone through all this pain, we've done all the desert training and camping out and hard trekking for the last few days and for those 20 minutes when I saw the rhino it made it all feel worthwhile, 'cos we came here to see the black rhino and I've seen it!

Ellie: Today was wicked, probably the best day I've had here! It's so beautiful here you can't believe it - it's just astounding beauty. We just had the best time jumping off the sand dunes, and swimming off the sand dunes, and everybody was just getting on so well. There was like a real community feeling, like we're all in this together and we've all got to cross the sand dunes by Friday night and we kind of couldn't wait - it was an exciting feeling!

The team carried on to complete the very last leg of their 60 mile trek across the desert. And after trekking across endless sand-dunes they finally arrived at the Atlantic Ocean coast where everyone raced into the ocean for a freezing dip. An exciting end to an exciting trek!
