I'd rather be dirty and smelly. Besides, the weather down here means you're never far from a good, soaking dose of rain.

Sorry Bumpingbill, I'm 6 months late!

Part 5 of my trip report is finally here. Hopefully I haven't lost the audience's attention :oops:

Enjoy part 5. All feedback on my writing is truly appreciated!

Yeah, interesting narrative, nice writing style Sam. I've had someone mention first reading abt the track and being motivated to walk it from your earlier parts. It's a good thing, not new ground, no personal points gained, just substance!
Well done! (6?)

Very eloquent writing. Posting the last days a bit late does not matter unduly.

Hey Sam,

Really glad you got to the final instalment. Love your writing, your enthusiasm and your honesty. I'm confident that you will inspire a lot of young 'uns in your well-chosen profession.
I share your mountain passion!! But you are able to express it in ways I can't. Thanks. :D

In the process of turning my Overland blogs into a small eBook. I have always wanted to write books so I am getting a little taster. Adding a bit of this and that, hopefully I'll be able to sell it for a small price.
