Thanks for the replies. And Dodger, I've met quite a few BM's on my last 3 trips so you're not all strangers! (I was at MTB nightly

the last week of March, I guess I missed you!) I was more trying to find out if Sakaeo had a bit of bad weather than asking for advice on what to do. Of course you're right- its 'up to me'

as they say!
