Encouragement
I don't think you need to worry Doug. Doing the real thing is quite different to training as you know. Once you get to France and start on the trail with all its changing scenery from day to day, you will automatically be able to do more. You will probably be stiff from the initial mountain sections, but then, I am told, it becomes a lot easier. You will also get fitter each day.

Ah- memories!
Definitely the soft option with all those huts to sleep in. Imagine us in tents with hot water brought to the tent door in a small bowl for washing. The only photo that reflects where I went is Uhuru Peak itself. You look a lot more calm and collected than I did!

Good Selection of Animals
Doug - I hadn't realised you had done Botswana too. I have only this evening been looking through a brochure on Botswana, intending to take my friend Steph there in May/June. I wondered if we would see a good selection of animals - you have shown that we can expect to do so.

Come on Doug, just admit that you stole my body lotion to use yourself... I found it beside your pillow! :) And leaving my bug-infested tent to seek refuge in Fernando's bug-free tent was a necessity... (despite Billy's warning to me, "you'll have more than bugs to worry about in Fernando's tent!")

PMSL
And *I* get accused of being insane... That looks like a hell of a lot of fun!

So happy to read that
Dear Fitzzi, I missed all of you since 1976. I read your log with tear, so many familiar names and so many wonderful memory. When is your next gathering? I am planning to join all of you.
