Well, may as well start with the same lines as everyone else in here

I'm new to the website, never been on anything like a trek, I just got dropped off by heli or plane and got on with a 'job' never really had much time for sightseeing

I have now retired and finished working and thought it was time to see the world and actually meet people in different countries without killing them

My first trip I have signed up to is UKtoOz, a 28 week trip

I'd like to get something else under my belt before I set out on this one (kinda fancy a couple of weeks, maybe a month doing Africa, safari parks, stuff like that) any recommendations ?

I'll be doing it on me own the missus has a few years to go, before she is slung out and I cant be bothered to wait for her to retire, she would do these trips anyway, she likes comfy beds and toilets that work

Well, if anyone wants to reply, I'm here

I hope this website is going to be a lot friendlier than other websites I am on and get a few replies

I'm doing a trip next year, trying to get some information about it, who has been on it, who have used the people who are doing it (http://uktooz.com/index.asp)
I have asked on lots of other websites, never got a reply from anyone there

I maybe wrong but it seems that posters on ANY of these trekking forums are VERY reluctant to communicate with othersd, is this website the same ?

The scenery is breath taking - truly beautiful!

We're a friendly bunch on here yes.gif - if you pm me your email address I can send you my updates.

All the info on the safari we used is back at home in England - I'm not back home till mid June!! The blogs on here are really useful for getting ideas and info on where you might like to go as well.

Look forward to reading about your trip frantics.gif
