Icon10 Tudor's first day out with me...

Hi all

Last week was my birthday (Jan 9) and today was the first real day the wife & I had to go out. We went Llama trekking in Surrey (UK). The previous night it was pouring down in & around London, so was pleased it turned out to be a beautiful day.

Absolutely loving the Tudor.

Maybe I'm spending too much time on the forum. I'm showing an interest in woolly animals!

I didn't realise Llama's were native to London mate
Be careful Michael Jackson associated with Llama's and look what happened to him.

If JJ reads this post he'll be importing Llama's to New Zealand.

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments.

Absolutely in love with the Tudor & it's running at +5 per day, which is within the Rolex tolerance.

Gotta love that. Mine runs about -1 sec per day. Accurate and great looking.

What is llama trekking and Why? Is it just like walking the dog? Do they Sniff out truffles or have uncanny directional/navigational skills? Is it some sort of hunt? When the llamas "Make" is their human trekking companion obliged to pick the mess up and dispose of it as one does when walking a dog? Can you ride one?
