Erm, come to think of it maybe that\'s not such a new thing. And unfortunately no blog as there are no phone lines on the trail AFAIK. If we can find an internet cafe at Macchu Pichu or Cuzco before and after I will atempt to blog, otherwise you\'ll all just have to wait until I get back.

However, I was wondering if you'd be taking your sax? Publicity is often oxygen for fund-raising and it seems that the sight and sound of a man in a giant shark costume (I remember the Deep Sea Jivers!) playing the Peruvian national anthem over ancient Inca trails couldn't fail to raise interest! Will there be a day-by-day internet progress blog? It'll be great for Joe and Jim to follow - when I was their age, going to the local park was an expedition! It’s an epic project - and a worthy one.
