There were times that I had doubts that this trip would ever actually happen.
First of all there were people bringing up more problems than solutions then there was the slow initial interest.
In the end it has been the positive "can do" attitude of the group that has turned this trip into a solid reality and the kind of trip that I originally envisaged when I first proposed the setting up of a "Sub Zero Crew"
As it is, we're all going out with different objectives, some are meeting up as part of a greater journey, some are just going for the market and the cultural events surrounding it, others have more diverse objectives but we all stand to benefit from the added safety that working together should create.
This was always the plan, something like the loose structure of a "meet" with individual responsibility but collective security.
Conversations around the campfire this weekend made it very clear that there is no reason that trips like this should not become a regular feature in the future taking in locations all around the globe.
