:It took me a minute to translate your last sentence, Robyn -- I don't know if it's the same where you are, but in the UK, "chap" is a friendly slang term for a person, usually male.

"It turned out to be the most thickly grown vegetation I have ever fought my way through." Oh ho I can sure identify with that. And I can assure you you will say that again. My legs are currently covered in what I shall dub "geowelts" from walking through brambles that went from the ground to over my head, wearing a thick jacket that only protected me from the top (raised arms over my face) to mid-thigh. I'm thinking of buying some "geohashing chaps". -Robyn 18:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
