Keep Calm and Carry On
Guys you are doing amazingly, and seeing some amazing things. Ross you are right I should deffo have come with you. I hope your Merino wool undercrackers are holding up well. Bill I'm very impressed that you haven't fallen off yet, but a little disappointed that you didn't catch Ross' tumble on camera. Seriously, I am glad to see that you are both well and still managing to smile. Anyhoo, keep up the good work and keep writing. P.S. Ross it looks like your beard is going to cost me some money.
