Neil, You omit any mention of the places to which you travel. I'm sure that if you would say where you might be likely to be, you would find that people would be very happy to offer some help. My pipes have coped with climate changes from country to country as long as they are packed carefully and hand carried on flights. Good luck with your piping. Sheila
