But they were very friendly there, and the visit served a purpose. As for astroturf, I would be less surprised to see it 'growing' in Pierre's fibreglass factory.<br /><br />Humphrey, good to hear from you again, and very best wishes for your own little sortie. I think I read that you were going to take the maps on your S3. I'm using that phone, and it's great (spare batteries recommended), but as with many such gadgets the screen can be difficult to view in bright sunlight. That doesn't really matter to me but could be a problem for map reading. I suppose one of those old darkroom hoods could be the answer, though the thought of watching you use it has made me LOL!<br />Have a great time anyway.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-3173431998325833262013-08-01T21:21:22.381+01:002013-08-01T21:21:22.381+01:00A mighty traverse, and a joy to read your daily ac...A mighty traverse, and a joy to read your daily accounts, filled with good humour! I set out on my minor tromp on August 20 - simply a two week bagatelle and nothing compared to your adventure! Peace to you, my brother and good fortune on the journey.
