Hi all,
I’ve been a lurker here for many months- might have got here around the Morse code invite on HC. I think I’ve read every entry on this thread and dished out a lot of likes most days. I don’t have much to add to the discussion, but wanted to quickly appreciate every persons posts and thank you all for the information, thoughts, speculation, humour, bikes and especially Jag’s pictures. Like most, my general sentiment seems to be getting more rosy but I certainly understand any frustrations voiced and appreciate people venting in their own way too! I feel more comfortable riding out whatever happens in next few months. It’s been a hell of a ride so far and you folk have helped me form a picture in my mind of what’s going on. No idea how accurate it is but at least I have a picture!!! I’ve found the whole thing very interesting as someone without much knowledge previously to the inner workings of the DRC, or even mining contracts and particularly the price of snacks overseas. I’m lucky enough to not be overly anxious about my investment but I still wake in the night and check my phone to see what shenanigans are going down in the DRC because of my interest. I have tried to explain the whole situation as it’s gone along to my teenage kids to give them an education which has been a big challenge in itself- I’ve left the pineapples out!
Fwiw I’m going with a Sept 20 opening.
Enjoy your weekend all.
