They'll have a good time because you're not going. If you went it would be a catalogue of unmitigated disaster. You just leave a trail of carnage behind you :evil: .

Point taken. I'll be a little more forthright with my opinions in future, just to save any misunderstanding.

The East Anglian gave us chance to check a few things. Like whether the luggage would fall off.....

Brilliant.
Those routes could come in very handy.
Did you always camp or were there any hotels that you stayed in that were ok ?
