Hi Brad

Yes, you did reply before, but it's nice to know you haven't changed 
your mind! Hope you're comfortable down there on the carpet....

Cheers
Simon

>> macro-structures associated with eclogite-facies rocks, unusual bulk 
>> compositions, kinetics of metamorphism and preservation, novel 
>> analytical methods in HP and UHP metamorphic petrology, and

>>
>> The post-conference trip will depart from Glasgow airport on Mon 9th

>> the high-pressure rocks of the Armorican Massif, which form part of 
>> the Moldanubian Zone in the Variscan orogen. We will visit the 
>> spectacular, transitional blueschist-eclogite rocks on the Isle de 
>> Groix (led by Michel Ballevre from Rennes). We then move on to the 
>> Vendee area near Nantes (led by Gaston Godard and Gisella Rebay), 
>> where we also have the opportunity to see a variety of different 
>> eclogite types, including a superb 3-dimensional exposure inside a 
>> large eclogite pod that is currently being quarried, plus 
>> high-pressure schists and cordierite gneisses overprinted by 
>> high-pressure kyanite-garnet assemblages. Participants will no doubt 
>> enjoy the relaxed atmosphere after the rigours of the Scottish 
>> mountains, and the good food and wine of this attractive region. The
