I never could spell..i blame bill gates.
And yes this is a strange thread.
Two people doing the same thig will end up with a totally different outcome unless it is very controlled.
So does it matter who did what for what motive and what the outcome was.
If i ever get the chocie of doing something like LWR i want a biek comfy bike and lots of comfort and limited risk. Why rough it or take on danger when you don't have to.

Not got much time for 'professional' travellers. I'm not much of an armchair traveller and when I do read something along those lines I always think that I could have done better myself. None of them come anywhere near Jupiters Travels which is the original and will always be the best IMO.
