I didn't mean my post to be other than supportive Ryan, just stating that for me personally it didn't pretend to be other than what it was nor do I think you ever suggested otherwise.

PR tends to be over the top, has to be to get even a slight awareness from others in this day and age. People seem to expect bigger and better and further and faster all the time and you as an adventurer in the modern day cannot escape that expectation. It was just a long ride, as I said, pretty much on high tec gear with some financial and logical backup, not exactly a camel or on foot! But that doesn't denigrate or detract from the reality in my mind. In fact it shows forethought and commonsense. I am glad for you, and maybe later for me when I buy the DVD, that you got to experience enough as you rode that it affected you and perhaps those you met along the way.

I have retained enough simplicity as I got older that even the journey I make to the shops on my Kinlon is a small adventure for me every time and I will always support (and applaud) those who go farther and faster. I understand from my own journeys (in a very varied life) that every morning you get up, fire up and go, it is an adventure! I should have tried to express that better, sorry.
