Congratulations and well done, Mark. I've really enjoyed keeping up with your adventures and amazing photographs, especially the impressive trees along the river. I love the photo of the trees at your last campsite - that really does need to be printed and framed! I trust you'll be showered and sweet-smelling by the time you share a car home with Claire:) [Eileen]
