Well done you!

I bet there was more snow in the glaciers in your time.

Airship? Do you mean in a steampunk sorta way?

Before I go ahead and give more background, I just need to know if being a member of this forum is enough to do a thread with a link?

Have you PM'd one of the MODs? They don't always read every new post......

(And yes, there was a lot of ice, etc., in my time -- wow, 30 years ago!)

Doh!

I see what you mean! I'll try to get a copy made and take it up, especially if that'll help with getting the Mods to agree!

Knome

I'll try a PM...

Well, folks, I've heard back from the Mods and here goes...another way of looking at my efforts is this:

In June 2011 I'll be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa, to raise funds for Diabetes UK as my youngest son is diabetic. If you'd like to find out more about my reasons for going to a mountain that kills on average 30 people a year when attempting to summit, please visit my link at:

I'll be taking a Saltire and something akin to the X Marks airship up the 19,340 feet!

Slainte and wish me luck!
