Dear Mum & Dad,
Just a few lines to let you know I have arrived safely. It took us from 6.30 in the morning until 10.30 last night to get here and we were travelling all the time. There is some marvellous country up here but from what I can see from the camp there is no sign of any living creature for miles around. Hoping you are all well I will write as soon as I get chance but from what I can gather its all work up here
Cheerio.
Your loving son.
