When Bernie stopped to change over I askedif I could hitch back to base, silly me, I knew I had to stay in thejeep. So off we set again with Margaret behind the wheel, she hadnever been behind a steering wheel in her life. She soon got thehang of it. So up and down the hills again sharp lefts and sharperright turns, some near misses from both drivers, but we got safelyback to base. The first thing I did when I got out of the jeep was tokiss the ground. My legs were like jelly, but what an achievement,a one off experience for each and every one who participated. Iknow that, the memories of this memorable day are my favouritetopic and will be for some time to come as it was a one off, trulyamazing, unforgettable opportunity for us all.NoeleenPS.
