Re: Went to the Magic Bus on 10-Jul-2014 via helicopter

Sounds like you had a great trip.

Sad to see the bus looking worse year on year, not through natural ageing but mindless vandalism.

An unforgettable experience nonetheless.

All the best,

Nick

Re: Ron Lamothe documentary available on DVD?

I received a DVD copy within the last 3/4 months. My fourth copy! (one lost moving home, one scratched and one left at the bus) perhaps there has been a mix up.

Re: Ultimate freedom

Re: A few details rarely, if ever, mentioned...

Thanks Steve, I would be interested to hear what your thoughts are with regard to Chris coming into contact with others whilst on his hike or at the bus...? Keep the posts coming Steve, they are quite often the start of serious and intersting discussion on this forum which has been lacking in recent...

Re: A few details rarely, if ever, mentioned...

Great post Steve, and follow up GoNorth. What also must be said about the trip from the Tek to the bus is that if you want to do it in 4 hrs (which I think is quite impressive!) it is a constant hump. Also, depending on the time of year it is not always easy to pick the trail up the bus side of the ...

Re: Video & Blog Post: Walking to The Bus in July 2013

Great post Dave, what part of England are you from? would be interested to see more pictures from your trip if you have any.

Such a shame to see that the bus has been vandalised so much in the little over a year since I was there.

Re: McCandless on California Gold with Huel Howser

I watched the whole 1992 episode and could not see the swimmer.

Perhaps you could expand your info or post a link.

It would be an amazing find as no footage of Chris is available.

Best,

Nick
