This is our 12th illustrated trip report (and the 3rd to be published on the web) and it marks an important milestone because it is very first one that was written specifically for the web.

As always, we're keen to know what you think of our efforts so why not let us know - we'd be delighted to hear from you and (if you don't mind) we'd love to add your comments to our Readers’ Comments page (we promise not to include your full name or email address). We welcome any suggestions or even criticisms that you might have and in return we'll let you know when we add other trip reports.
