Sure, widdershins
Base Camp began the 'Sawyer's Dad' trek on November 1st being briefed by OldChap. Sawyer's and Base Camp's goal was 100 years. Shortly after, OldChap was going to start treatment for squamous cell carcinoma, and we decided to let the 'Sawyer's Dad' trek morph seamlessly into Base Camp's 'OldChap' trek - an open ended trek lasting at least to the beginning of January 2020 when OldChap's treatment plan is fulfilled. On November 29th we reached 100 years for Sawyer's Cancer Fighting Network, and Sawyer himself suggested we changed over to the 'OldChap' trek, which we are running now. You already earned the Sawyer's Dad badge, widdershins  and by rejoining Sawyer's Cancer Fighting Network, you'll earn the OldChap badge as well  You see, the 'OldChap' trek is designed to donate this crew's work to Sawyer's Cancer Fighting Network in honour of OldChap. I hope I explained this relatively understandably.                              |

Ah! I see where I was going wrong, I thought the Old Chap trek would begin with the BC'rs shifting camp to his team. Instead the camp is staying on the current camping grounds and just changing menu from American barbecue, to British roast.
In that case I'll pop back over until the 250 years is reached. |

Good Morning Base Campers!
Business This OldChap crew, the 'Sawyer's Dad' crew, and Sawyer's original team members have brought Sawyer's Cancer Fighting Network to almost 222 years in less than three months  I wonder whether this ever has been done before in WCG history  Accounting widdershins crunched with us in the 'Sawyer's Dad' trek. Now he's back helping out with the 'OldChap' trek. Welcome widdershins  good to see you again. Please make a habit out of it  TLD went back to SeriousCrunchers again. Thank you for being here - and for the trouts we grilled on the bicycle grill. We'll keep the light on for you just in case ...  [CSF] Damon Hill has returned to Crunchers Sans Frontieres for a challenge - we hope to see you back when it's over and at that time you and deltavee will play on a more even ground, provided deltavee stays ...  pheeew! It's not easy being a bookkeeper   |

Good Afternoon Base Campers! Business As OldChap has finished the first third of a total of 6 weeks' treatment, I'm happy to report that as per today Sawyer's Cancer Fighting Network has chalked up 238+ years  Accounting We said goodbye and thank you very much to deltavee - it was a pleasure having you along once more  - and we say welcome to Groundhog.SETI.USA[TopGun] If you read this Groundhog.SETI.USA[TopGun] I should like to ask you: How did you find our camp ground in Plymouth, England? You see, I'm terribly unsure of my marketing skills these days as I see many turning their backs from this - in my opinion very worthwhile OldChap trek, so any feedback would be a great help. |

Hello everyone!
Sorry for being inactive recently - I had a lot of homework and three tests this week.  As the holiday season gets even brighter, I send good tidings to OldChap as he goes through his treatment. And thanks to Little Mermaid for leading the OldChap Trek! I hope everyone has a great holiday season!-Sawyer  |

 Hello, coolmandude545, so good to see you  I hope your tests went well - in fact I'm sure they did. I can see in your eyes that you at a very bright young man - and I can see you prefer a 'Craftsman' screwdriver. I have such a cherished one myself bought in Providence, Rhode Island. Just a small one - I would never dare venture into what you are dealing with on your desk  Can it crunch? On behalf of the entire Base Camp crew in all of its constellations, I wish you and yours a very good holiday season. Good Afternoon Base Campers! Business We are at almost 242 years today. OldChap is 1/3 through his treatment, 2/3 to go. I don't know about Sawyer's Dad, but I hope he responds well to his treatment. Accounting wes. went home to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.Thank you so much for staying with us. You're welcome back any time  - so I sighed ....  BUT the sun broke out Crystal Pellet returned It's so nice to have you back helping us pull toward the magic 1,000 years We do have room for more crunchers! Everybody is welcome to contribute to this very worthwhile trek. Please try our rotating door  - and beware not to bump into outgoing traffic  |

Good Morning Base Campers!
Business Barred any unimaginable events, tomorrow will be the day we shall hit 250 years because we now stand at 249:274:13:41:56 bluestang, that's what you thought we should give Sawyer for December 25th  we're early - and I for one don't stop here Accounting We're the same crew now as we were yesterday. This is a very good crew  We may expect the Global Protection Team people going home as we reach 250 years. On the other hand, we might have [CSF] Damon Hill and possibly [CSF] David White back if their team challenge is over. In general I hope as many as possible will join for whatever time he can spare.  |
