This is not so much a holiday as a wonderful adventure and experience. We are still finalising details of the actual excursions and those mentioned here are not set in stone and may change, but not materially.
We are now open for sale and already have 18 people who have confirmed their intention to join us. So we are hopeful that it will be a success.
We will be enhancing this webpage in coming days, wither pertinent photographs and descriiptions, so please bear with us as we do it. All the actual information is here, though.
Please forgive us if there is the odd spelling error!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Airfares, especially to the Far East and beyond, have become highly volatile. This is due to the huge demand, so we reserve the right to increase our tour price without a moment's notice.
Please book early to avoid such increases.
