It's going to run from Saturday 7 May until Monday 9 May inclusive, in Cyprus. Paul Howarth, David Lapworth, Petter and Phil, Chris and Glenn, Denis, Phil's personal trainer David Gethin, John Jones (the team's paramedic) and I will be attending.

The main thing is to get everyone used to working in the heat ahead of the next three hot gravel events. The drivers and co-drivers are already well-prepared physically to cope with the conditions, so the camp's not about trying to make them fitter in a couple of days. It's about getting them used to working in an extreme environment and introducing strategies to help them compete in high temperatures. The next three events have a high rate of attrition and often present specific problems, so we'll be preparing them for those. We want to make sure that everyone is able to reach the correct outcome when in a pressurised situation.

First, we'll hold a series of physical tasks to get everyone working outside and acclimatised to the heat. We'll then gradually introduce a number of mental challenges, based on possible scenarios that may occur during the next three rallies, to improve their skills and teamwork.

The tasks will enable us to analyse the dynamics of each group and study the relationships between driver and co-driver and management-and-crew. We'll be able to see who works well together and if there are any areas we need to develop. From the participants' point of view, the things they'll be gaining are acclimatisation to the heat, an ability to formulate coping strategies and an understanding of why they're so important.

Mountain biking, which will be interspersed with mental tasks, and an orienteering course that will include a series of challenges designed to get everyone thinking and working together. The third day will include a driver review meeting where we'll assess goals set at the beginning of the year and make sure that they're still in line to be achieved.

We're expecting temperatures of around 35ºC by midday, but inside a car it can feel much hotter, stickier and more uncomfortable. Drivers need to be very fit and mentally alert to perform in such extreme conditions for three days and that's what we're going to Cyprus to achieve.
