Sarg:

I wish you the best. If you can pull off the trek, all the power to you.

I love your posts and from them, your attitude.

Of course, all the posters here are right. Bramble's got me laughing, but he is right you know. I myself spent three days under arrest by a group of ragged out thug wannabe soldiers in Congo for absolutely nothing so I can vouch for the general thrust of his concerns.

By God's grace I was not overhauled, but trouble can ensue of course.

Of course, I could drop a tree on myself next week...

Godspeed on your endeavour, and like Nitro says, post the results.

Count the cost tho, Mate, make sure you get your ducks in a row and do it as right as you can.

But you already know all that.
