After eating breakfast we walked to Independence Stadium as Paul wanted to take some measurements of the track. We crossed over the main Kariba Avenue road and walked along the sandy back streets cutting off a good bit of the corner, finally arriving outside the stadium where some locals were playing football. We approached the two guards on duty explaining what we wanted to do, after a quick phone call and the offer of atiya tea we were taken into the stadium grounds. Paul started to measure the width of the track with me holding onto one end. Then we measured the length with Bradley helping running on a head with the tape measure until it was tight. Finally Paul had all the measurements he needed so we headed back for lunch of chicken chasseur and jam roly poly.
