Just in case the OP is still checking, you can search my ID and find numerous responses with my negative African Trails experience. In case you're still considering them, I would highly recommend a short committment to which you can add time.

Don't know how that happened. Well spotted. I can't say I've been in to my profile for many a year, I wonder if it got changed with all the TT problems there's been.
Anyway, all is fine and dandy, still living in Cairo and maybe, fingers crossed, after another couple of years move to Syria. We'll see.
I presume you still have that thing that looks like a zebra on steroids?
Yes - still got it although it's currently off road awaiting a new cylinder head.

I am a house husband being fed and watered by an obliging wife who is working here in development.
I spend my time sunbathing, swimming and the occasional heckling from the back on the TT.
Oh yeah, and three kids to look after.
