This is the list of people that have put there trust in me for a week I hope it pans out.

It promises to be a great trip most of it some of us have done before but every time the weather has been great but this time the weather may not play its part as rain has been promised for every day except Wednesday. Time will tell if this will play a part in our trip. Its going to be fun.

If anyone is at our overnight spots come and have a beer.

The rest of the RR will start to be posted from Monday the 28th of November.
