Ha ha, like wise. Glad it all went well.

Dan, yes, I pined. every day. Paul

Elaine, Don't know about it coming with the territory - you don't really expect to be robbed in the middle of the desert do you lol I quite liked the camels... till I got on one. SO uncomfortable, especially since they were going quite quickly and over 5/6 foot dunes... for and hour. My bum was sore for days lol Thanks for the email x and thanks everyone else for the welcome back... Paul

Hi Paul! Did you get withdrawal symptoms after not talking to me for so long? ;-)

Morning Paul ! Feeling chilly are we ? lol ! Glad you all got back safe, sorry about your money and phone, I suppose it comes with the territory. <am now left with vision of holes in the sand and red faces lol > Only been on a camel once...never again...horrible things ! Elaine x

Good Morning Paul, and All, Lovely to see you back Paul, Well Done, wev'e been following you all each day! :)) Have a good Monday everybody :)

oh I haven't mentioned the sleep depravation have I... I'm REALLY not used to getting up at 3am 'so that we can walk into the sunrise'.. Thing is, I think my bodys got used to it... was asleep around 10 last night... wide awake by 6am :o(

Well we all think that you are all absolutely amazing xxhugxx

Welcome home Paul! So proud of you all. Donna xx

Goddmorning Paul and welcome back! Marie

at least you had an incredible experience and if you'd do it again it means you enjoyed it WELL DONE ALL OF YOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yes, I'd do it again. I don't think I'd want to go straight back to the sahara, WHEN I do another trek, I want to go somewhere else, but I would go ack there at a later date.

Welcome back and well done all of you!! Anne:)))

Yes it was as tough as expected. Hotter than we though, we weer expecting high 20's most days, we got high 30's - one day we hit 43 degrees. It was also a lot windier than we expected - one afternoon we walked into a headwind, which you can imagine is horrible with all that sand. The next afternoon was even worse, and everyone was taken on to camp in a landrover, except a couple of us who braved it with the guides and tried to walk it. Only got about halfway though, had to give up and go on the camels. Which I didn't enjoy at all !!! Feet ? they vary. Mine are fine, no problems at all. Quite a few ended up with blisters. Poor Tracey, her feet were in a terrible state, I don't know how she managed to keep walking, she was in pain with every step for most of the week - an incredible show of determination.

Would you do it again

Was it as tough as you expected? how are the feet? did everyone stay well? questions questions questions xxhugxx

Er...thanks for the demo, Paul:-) So nice to see you back. XX BC

No gossip. Sorry, but its true. I think everyone would have been too bloody knackered anyway lol THere were actually more trees than I would have expected on some days, but on others... very few and far between. On the last couple of days, the terrain was almost completely flat, with no cover at all, no dunes, no vegitation... so it was just a queston of hanging back a bit behind the group, drop your pants and get on with it...

Paul lol we have waited a whole week for the news, sorry about the money and phone though xxhugxx

and were there any trees come on whats the gossip, promise wont tell anyone between you an me...no one else will ever find out nobody will read it
