<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: windowtext;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was physically & emotionally draining, but a richly rewarding experience.<em> </em>The final day involved 15 hours walking, starting at midnight after less than an hour's sleep, but I was with a great team & that helped enormously.</span></span></p>
