Superb read :-bd
Stunning, the photos and condensed text. It's like a 'how to' and a report.

And the riding... Great effort!

Hi Peeps,
Thanks for reading about our trip- was great! hard but great. I think a lot of people seriously underestimated the terrain and conditions, I think it's one we've ticked off never to be repeated as you can guarantee we'd never manage to get around a second time.
I see Rich didn't include the photo I took of him looking like a hobbit at a teaparty… i'll have to see if I can find it :cool:
