KUNIANG !!!!!

This is a simply walk hor, no up hill down hill, cross country type of terrain !

Anyway I have a 100-400 LENS for loan on that day if anyone is interested.

Got to see if Benny is going since i'm his porter

Eugene,
If you want to go with them on Wed, can borrow my lens (400mm) and tripod (carbon+Gimbal head)

**craftsman** · 25th Jan 2009, 22:23

Got to send kids to school.

And also thinking of bringing my parents for prawn fishing in the morning.

Very very tempting though!
