For Kerry
Glad to hear all is going well kerry and bricky skills coming along a treat Grandad will be chuffed. Good luck with the seals. Keep up the good work all of you.

[Alan Man]

Well done to everyone...
...for completing your first phase; you should be extremely proud of yourselves. I was at a presentation afternoon as company/chaffeur and know how much effort you must have all put in to simply be there. Mr Dlugokecki mentioned that he hadn't seen Hannah at any of his gigs for a while, despite attending her going-away drinks. Finally, news reports are coming in that Brighton has started to smell like 200,000 seals. Take care everyone. X

Well done to everyone
Message for Will Morton and everyone - well done on completing your first stage - the trek sounds wonderful and I'm sure you're going to enjoy the second stage just as much. Everyone in Norfolk sends love - take care and look forward to hearing your next news.

[Phil and Nicky Allison]

Well done everyone
Thank you for the fantastic update and photos. Hey Mike, you're looking good! Maybe you'll be able to get a job with Steve the builder now?? Thinking of you on the trekking phase - hope you don't bump into that lion again! Love you loads, m+d xxxx

For Hannah
Hello! Good to hear you've finished your first phase, well done! We're sat here discussing our dresses, we've decided bubblegum pink with lime sashes and are planning a trip to hobbycraft as we speak for the accessories. ;-) Thank you for our letters, we miss you and we're proud of you. Remember that it's a once in a lifetime experience and treasure every moment of it! Lots of love and hugs, Jess and Hev (aka your lovely bridesmaids!)

For Trevor
Hi Darling, sorry it's taken so long writing to you. You look great in the pictures, especially in the last one when you were in the front row (your confidence is really increasing, I can tell). Missing you loads but so happy for you to be building up your muscles on ethically-sound projects like this, love, Nat.

Hi Michael!
Hi Mike thinking of you on trek - are you digging all the long drops?? I'm in Cairo at the moment - it's hot here but maybe not as hot as where you are? Your letter arrived in time for me to bring it here - mum and dad were very pleased to get it! Mum says she wrote to you too. Looking forward to hearing all your stories and to comparing Raleigh notes. Your big sis, Ames xx

Missing you xxx
Hello Richard. I just got your letter (9/5/07). It took so long to arrive, I went to porters lodge every morning because I knew my mum had forwarded it. Thank you so much. It was the nicest letter I could ever receive. It sounds amazing. Life has been good here, the usual student life partying most nights and doing my essays everyday. The weather has been gorgeous - we have got a paddling pool out on the mound now. I have been coping ok without you because I have had so much work to do but now I miss you more than ever. Will be thinking of you when I am in Tunisia. I can't wait to see you, life is just not the same without having you around. Look after your self and be careful on your trek. I will write back to you but I'm not sure you will get it in time for this changeover. If you get chance to phone me again when you are at field base it would be amazing to hear your voice - although I won't be home from work untill about 5.30-6pm on th 12th. I love you so much. your katy xxxx

[Krisi]

To Rich Lewin
Hiya Babes, Hope you are ok and that you finger is better! It was good to talk to you the other day and to hear you are well. (Other than your finger injury) You will be pleased to hear the weather is rubbish here and it's cold so you will be doing much better than me on the tan!! Hope you are having lots of fun and it's not all hard work. From reading all about what is going on out there on the site it sounds amazing and I am very jelous! Wish was there with you. ha! Kitchen still isn't finished!!! Thinking of you, Miss you loads. Lots of love. xxxxxxxxx

[Karen & Richard]

Hi Chrissy
Another three weeks over; we bet you are looking forward to the trek now! We will be off on holiday soon, we can't wait to see you beginning of June. Dad says you owe him £200 for the car to be serviced! We will be in all day on Sunday 13th May if you manage to get thru on the phone. We will be seeing Peg and Nan again this weekend and of course will print out the blog for them to see - technology is a wonderful thing. Take care on the trek - lots of love Mum & Dad

[Mamma Duck]

Did you make it to the sea??
Hi there, thought I'd just write in case none of the mail has got to you!! Lots of your letters have made it to England, really great to hear from you XXX I bet you have never been more glad to see a bucket of water than after your trecking!! Can't wait to hear all about it, hope you saw some animals as well- nothing too dangerous tho'!! Miss you tons, very quiet around here! Have a great time on the community project and we are all eagerly awaiting the update on the blog. Thanks so much to the team for keeping us informed, it is so good to hear and see a little something from the depths of Africa!! Loads of love Mumxxxxx

[Laura Entwistle]

Hey guys hope you enjoyed your second phase, seems ages ago that I left I'm sure it went much faster for you! Being back in England is RUBBISH, though the food is a slight improvement I'd happily switch back to crackers to be with you all!! Got Will's letter last week - made my day, hope you managed to sort out your long drop and that your successful run in camp cluedo continued. Anyway can't wait to hear what you've all got up to! Love and hugs, death and destruction Laura xxx

[Katy Peacock]

...
If you can't get through to me leave an answerphone message, just so I know you ok (let me know if i can ring you back). Incase we don't get to speak again, Kate and Becca are coming with me when I pick you up. I can't wait to see you now, and have a wicked last phase!!! I love you xxx Katy xxx
