Sorry as much as I am a jack of all trades - its the sort of thing I 
pass to Geoff Egan. But he was trying to get to a pilgrim badge 
conference in Prague (despite Iceland travel chaos) when i saw him  a 
few days ago. I should see him in Bruges on thursday at a book launch if 
he makes it (no my life is rarely this exciting I can assure you) so 
will alert him.
