As everyone else has said that's a fantastic collection of photos and it's even better that you've given a commentary on what they're of.

I see that the copiapoathon site has the description of the trip, if not the photos, yet. It's here: http://www.copiapoa.info/copiapoathon/2007calendar.htm if anyone isn't familiar with the site.

Why not try and pull some of it together as an article for the BCSS Journal Trevor?

Hi Trevor,

I also would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to give us this wonderful travelogue (tu) It brought back so many nice memories of my own trip to Chile a few years back, and made me want to go there again!

Cheers,
