Stu Hey Rich since i got an honerable mention i thought i'd write again! Still sounds like your having an awesome time on your adventure! You didn't even do a lunge, just walked normally and attracted a whole group of girls, although they were thieves lol! Those tunnels sound interesting too, don't think i would have too much of a problem tho haha! Oh and to keep you up to speed with the team we have started 2009 the same way we ended 2008 with a great win against cornwall! Stay safe buddy and keep us updated on your adventures!

Mike Hi Jamie. From the fotogs it looks as though you are having a grrrreat time! Am green with envy, as it has been dropping to -7 and -9 deg C at night in our part of Sussex (and even -5 in Bognor!) Kieran sends you his greetings - but is a bit puzzled why you are not in New Zealand (he's been telling everybody about your trip). Look forward to following your progress. All the best..................
