Thanks for the feedback Brendan,
We're hoping to overhaul the tour section of Adelaidia in the near(ish) future so it's good to know what's not working for people.

Nice page but impossible to print with good map; as an aide-memoire. Also share facility - why not include other platforms i.e. Whatsapp and ordinary email? Not everyone uses FB and Twitter which are notoriously unsafe anyway.
