I'm pleased to announce that collective photos taken during the 9 days that we were away are now online. Over the past week or so, I've been putting together a website, housing photos that myself plus others have taken. I'm also adding my diary on there but that, at this stage still remains incomplete so will be finishing it off as and when I get the time. The website address is http://www.freewebs*com/pinkfundsaharatrek (replace asterisk with dot). I'm not sure how the site will react to lots of people hitting it - it hasn't been heavily road-tested, so be patient or try again later if you do experience problems viewing the photos. Feel free to leave any remarks (hopefully nothing too derogatory lol) in the guestbook. Cheers Andy.

Hi Sue, Unfortunately, I can't offer any advice as such, as I've only tested it from my machine and it works fine there, although it does seem to perform slightly better in Firefox than Internet Explorer. However, the other trekkers have been able to see it OK, so I know that it does work. A.

I got onto the site with no probs. Just copy and paste then change the astersik. Great photos. Liked the one of 2 running. No other footprints around. Must have been a bit eerie being so far away from civilization. Well done to you all.

In case it isn't obvious, there is a Full Size option, which opens a full-sized version of the pic you are viewing in another window. For the group shots, I've made the pics bigger so you can see clearly everyone's faces.
