Do the instructions work?

Hello, am testing the blog entry instructions. Will be emailing some trekkers later today to remind them about insurance details, nag nag!

Welcome!

Welcome to the TrekChina0907 blog. From here on we hope this will become the main method of communication between the trekkers and as we get nearer the time and are on the trek itself, we hope others will also contribute, such as family and friends. You don't have to contribute anything if you don't want to - you can purely read it - or you can contribute as little or as much as you like.

So, what is a blog? A blog (short for web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and displayed in reverse chronological order.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject or act as more personal online diaries. We think this will be really useful for those going on TrekChina0907 so that they can create a permanent record of their experiences, both leading up to the trek and whilst they are in China. A typical blog combines text, images and other media related to its topic - this one will also do so, plus photographs, videos, music and audio (podcasts).

We hope you enjoy reading and contributing to the TrekChina0907 blog

Thanks
Kevin

On June 3rd a few of us got together for a brisk seven and half mile walk (including a rapid ascent of "cardiac hill") near Abinger Common.
