According to this afternoon's BBC Five O'Clock News a party of British explorers has just reached the source of the Nile, having walked 4,000 (four thousand) miles in 8 (eight) days. Wow! Some walk!

A lot of people refer to the CH Club as if it was a failure; for example, a recent entry on this forum says: Surely this is a new body - the successor to a body which nearly (if not actually) failed. This is extremely unfair; I want to explain why and I hope that the critics will have the decency to...
