The event which saw a total of 50 persons participating included delegations, from Suriname, Trinidad, as well as one participant each from Mexico, Canada, Jamaica and Holland. The convoy left Georgetown in the wee hours of November 26 as they started the journey along the East Bank of Demerara heading to the mining town of Linden, then into the terrain leading to the South Rupununi, in Region Nine. The event culminated on Saturday evening, GINA said.
