This is great. There's a fine line between help -- which I don't want -- and company, which I wouldn't mind. Part of the pleasure, I think, is the relationships you forge and the people you meet along the way; shared experiences twice as good and all that...otherwise I'd get my head down and run a fast marathon in London or something.
I will put a date on it over this weekend. Need to have a think tonight. Thanks for the replies...more welcome to join!
