No daily posts for this tour. I was too tired and so was my computer…it balked and threw some fits. Suffice it to say that Alexandra, Dan, Graeme and Chantal tackled the challenge in stride. Upon occasion, The Beast bit back….I mean literally bit back…a resident pig nipped Chantal on the rump!
Those that have done this tour will understand.
Here are a few selected pics. I have recovered sufficiently to post them.
