LOL, great replies, not sure about Wagner though, bit too German, Elgar maybe? I must say I have been keeping up my reading, nearly finished on war, reading a variety of other sources including a fair few from this site and newspapers. The joys of road marching may have to wait until I have got past the initial board, fitting a four hour march into a working day would be quite difficult at the mo. More worried about the planing exercise since I am sh*t at maths, calculating distances etc, but hey ho. Filling in all the forms they sent me seems a challenge in itself. Thanks for all the replies.
