Way to go guys – you are really making fantastic headway. Hope you are enjoying the bugs (I take it you broke the ‘we don’t need bugspray’ rule fairly early on), they are quite bad here in Southern Ontario at the moment so I can only imagine what they are like up north (bigger than vultures)!!! We wanted to let you know that we are following your progress and hoping the weather and the locals treat you kindly (here’s hoping they are sharing the odd bottle of beer with you too). Emma wants to send Paul a big kiss and a hug (don’t worry ladies she’s only 3).

Have fun in Manitoba, and good luck

Nick, Chris, Ben and Emma
