I wonder how big Ron is doing on his stroll. Anyone heard from him?

We should all got in circle and see if we can contact him telepathically.  I think he is doing ok, he is enjoying himself. (Please God, I hope I am right). |

Hi Guys,
Here's Wilderness Ron logging on from Cape Town to tell you all that the trek has been completed safely (if painfully) and that yours truly was one of those who managed every single kilometer of the way...even though the last day was pretty painful. Wouldn't have missed it for the world though: there will be some magic shots, I hope.
We've just done two days work with the school kids and the orphanage: tomorrow I transfer to the building team for some wall building. The weather has been wonderful throughout, but we've been warned that tomorrow will be a long slog in the heat and dust....
Thanks again for your interest,
I'll be back Thursday...
Ron

Hello Ron,
Your post has the wind of adventure blowing through it, I get a secondary-inhalation thrill from it. And if you can't join them, post on the same messageboard as them, I say from the safety of my armchair (remember them?)
Congratulations on your achievement!

We are waiting for you to come back.
I am sure many people like to see your photos. We have a quite day here today and this is why there are so few responses.

Hello Ron,  Great to hear from you in SA. Once the pain has gone, there will only be great memories of your walk (and valuable work) out there, plus the photos, which I'm sure will be shared here. Keep going! Mark |
