Is there a limit to numbers on the trip ??

Yes as I can only take so many. Some places I could not fit everyone in.

Mark,

I was thinking it was a sort of 'tagalong' trip with everyone to organise their own accomodation etc ??

The hardest thing organizing trips like this is making it enjoyable for everyone. That's why I look for expressions of interest and then cap it so that I can get exact numbers. I have members waiting for others to drop out so they can go and unless people have put their name down I do not know who is attending.

Once i have exact numbers I plan each day so that we can all travel together and camp together. This also helps with members who are not sure of their ability in tackling tough tracks as we have experts to assist.

I then plan accommodation so that again we can all get in together...example the huts at Seisa as there are only so many and I can arrange hut numbers for the members going.

I could make it a Tagalog and People plan their accomodation but then people are unsure of which accommodation. It is easy to have one person planning than 20. Members at any time can do their own thing but most like the company of this great forum.

Plan B is breaking into 2 groups.

Hi Mr McGirr,,

Put me down as a definite starter.

I think you better get plan "B" into action.

I look like being on my own again, if anyone is interested in being my co-driver, send me a pm. Not enough comforts for the rest of my family.
