Well said. Great to have a happy outcome to this trip and I look forward to seeing the PAW. It's also a useful reminder to us all to consider what you take with you on such a trip - even if you don't become disorientated (which is all too easily done) other things can happen. One of my friends broke his ankle badly in the forest, just a few minutes from a well used parking area. He'd left the 'phone in the car. Normally there would be no end of people out walking their dogs, but not of course on this occasion. He was there several hours before someone found him and called for an ambulance. Malcolm
