<DIV>What is "white spirits"? Maybe its worth a try for me too!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope your friend has a couple of good sticks. They were immensely helpful to me on downhill treks. I just have old-lady knees but can sympathize with the need for caution. I did not have trouble in the area you mentioned. There was one difficult hill, somewhere just before the iron cross, but I can't remember where. It was loose rock down a steep hill and took me approximately forever. It led to a small town with a pleasant river running through it. Can anyone else name the place?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>.On a side issue a friend has recommended rubbing feet with white spirits for the next three weeks before we leave. She says it is an old method of toughing up the soles. Has anyone heard of/ used this method. Prevention is after all, better than cure. 20 days to go!</FONT></DIV>
