How many quickloads can you carry on a trip...

Thanks Kerry, for correcting my guesses.

And good luck to you Stuart, have a great trip.

Thanks everybody - informative as ever!

The cardboard weight question isn't really an issue for me - I don't mind heavy packs; it's getting the volume down so I can fit my bags into buses and "service taxis" easier that I worry about. I like the idea of being able to pick up film drops from one or two places en- route though (and return the exposed ones) since apart from anything else it means I won't be exposing the precious filmstock to five weeks of heat and dust.

Ellis, I followed your suggestion and contacted Fuji (their ProNet service is only available on your side of the pond) and they responded straight away with the address of a supplier in Beiruit, so I think I'll follow that option, with the FedEx route as a back-up.

Cheers chaps.
