Malaria pills for Africa
Anyone going to Africa this year? I figured I'd get malaria at least once in the 9 months I was there without taking anything for preventing it, but never did.

I have a couple treatments of Coartem 20/120 with a 2010 exp. date I'm looking to 'pass on' for a big discount off original price.

Look me up at Ripley.

It really was a great event and the welcome upon arrival was superb. Great food, great people and a brilliant event. That'll keep me going for quite a while until the next adventure / event

+1 to that too!

Huge thanks to all the Organisers, kudos to Austin Vince - the Voice of Reason ;-)

Looking forward to next year already...

Any appetite for a Midlands Micro Meet sometime later in the year..?

+ another 1

aside from thanks to everyone that organised and presented, a massive thanks to Grant for letting me have his spare inner tube, and the couple from Sunderland (sorry - crap with remembering names) that very kindly came out of their way to drop it off to me 4.5 miles outside of Ripley.

How thankful was I that I attended Grants 'how to change a tyre (tire?) presentation.

as you can see from the attached pic, there was no way a repair patch was going to fix 'that' tube

A huge 'Thank You' to Grant, Sue and the HU Team for a great weekend in Denby. The speakers were fantastic and I learned more in one weekend with fellow traveller's than I ever could in a lifetime on the Internet .... it's time to buy a new map and hit the road again.

Nice to see so many freinds again and meeting some new ones.There should be some sort of awared for Colm O Flanerty for working with Nick Sanders on his presentation. All the best we will be back next year.

Some might say that there should be a Special Award for ''Anybody'' working with Nick .....
