As a guess Tony I would say that it wont come back. Its in deepest France and would think the transportation alone would cost upwards of £800. From the pictures it looks a pretty sorry state. I would be happy either way just as long as it quick. My main worry if they write it off is the argybargy with the settlement figure. Its never going to be enough to just pick another one up + all my gear has had it so we are looking at a big lump to find. Still lets look on the bright side for now eh. Regards Kev
Just to show how lucky the guys were .. heres a pic ....
Kev and Fraser already have this image but I'm attaching it rather than hot linking it as they may not want to see it again .... but it will give the DSC an idea how fortunate we have all been ....
