Stuck in layby's for several days and having to sleep in whatever was available was often really not fun, try kipping in a telephone box, if you can find one these days! Took me three and a half days to hitch to South Uist from the Midlands for a bird that hadn't been seen for over a week, folk now worry if it hasn't been seen in the last twenty minutes :-O We were however, definitely a tribe!</blockquote>
