Nobody in a business of this magnitude takes a risk three times. If you were on a plane and it was half full would you assume they had flown the route becuase they were taking a risk? If you signed up on a birding tour and it was half full what you assume it was becuase the company had taken a risk? No - its becuase the business is not attracting the customers it should or could be attracting. Thats as far as my comments will go as I own three eco-businesses and its a real shame to see anybody sink. I have respect for what UP have done - there is no point me saying anything other - and the respect is there becuase having been in this trade for nearly 15 years, I know the workload, the stress, the ups and the downs etc etc.But I'm getting a bit tired of your comments regarding how good this was, how good that was, couldn't help this, couldn't help that when the fact of the matter is that UP had only ever done three trips out there. We have done over 350. Enough said.Over and out,HH</blockquote>
