Some way into the journey a stop is made for breakfast and, after a short briefing about the area, the schools and the materials, the box libraries are loaded onto the vehicles. Maps and, in extreme cases, GPS co-ordinates and handsets are provided to help the teams locate the schools. Schools welcome the team of vehicles with great excitement. A packed picnic lunch is provided for each team member.
Convoys take a break when they find a picturesque stop-over place.
Once the teams have completed their tasks, they travel to an overnight stop. This is comfortable and unusual but generally quite rustic. Supper is served. After Sunday breakfast, participants spend some hours exploring interesting parts of the area whilst testing their 4X4 vehicles and off-road skills in challenging terrain. A picnic lunch rounds off the weekend activities.
