Hello everyone, Thanks for the feedback. Jacques I have included your suggestions into the latest version which you can find at the link I previously sent out (see link provided again below). William I have increased the size of the map, has that made it any easier to read that section? Also in answer to your question about updates, I have been told that the survey ended around last week so it should not need updating, however if it is still going on then I will update it as soon as I am back from Mexico which should be around the end of July.

Cheers and thanks for the feedback, Douglas. On 27 June 2015 at 22:38, Jacques Avril du Toit <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Douglas > > > Congratulations on a job well-done!
