SMS "Field Report" updates
We will try to update the Blog as we travel, but there will probably be places where we have no data service available for our mobile phone. In this case it may still be possible for us to send SMS messages, and the event dis-organisers have kindly set up a page to display them.
You can also view the field reports sent in by other members of our Group. For reference, we are in Group 4, and our team number is T8419.

Hello Alastair
I've been following your blog every day... really glad to hear that you are safe and doing well. Hope you are enjoying it - what an experience!

Good to hear from you!
Bit too much mechanical stuff - but so pleased you decided to keep going - and deeply envious!
Al,
Just tried to post and managed to delete it, so I shall try again.
I am at work, so I just had a chance to glance at your blog.
What on earth are you doing?
I am so confused! I guess if I read it when I have time I will understand...
Good luck with what ever it is you are doing!
