I didn't mean to imply that i could not understand him.  He was quite  
readable and understandable.  Some of his words and expressions were not  
what i am used to though, which just added to the stories charm.

I think I remember his hike as being 1991, not sure if that was in his book  
or his website. Kudos for knowing he's a Kiwi, but really our language isn't  
that strange. I was understood most of the time in the US.

I just finished reading Dances With Marmots - A Pacific Crest Trail  
Adventure by George Spearing.  I never did figure out when he did his thru  
hike, but it appears to have been a number of years ago.  I found the book  
to be much better than "Wild" and, unlike that book, was really about hiking  
the trail.  George is a Kiwi so his language and expressions are sometimes a  
bit strange, but I found his account to be entertaining and somewhat  
humorous.  Highly recommended.
