It just got bigger than we ever imagined and the e-mail addresses of fellow travellers were too many for us to keep up with.

Some of the travellers moved on, others felt that their information was getting to be like the Lonely Planet books we were trying to supplement -- too out of date, and word of mouth has meant that our e-mail box was always full with more people wanting to come on board, and we couldn't update the pages as frequently as we'd like.

The whole project needed to be redesigned and split up into smaller bytes.

All the country information and links have been moved to Travel Notes -- The Online Guide to Travel, and we have created more travel forums; where people can post their messages themselves, interact with other travellers, and make some new friends along the way.

Posting at Magun's Compass meant that people needed to wait for me to update the pages, so posting here is more immediate.

The travellers themselves, who supplied information to fellow travellers, have been informed of the changes and I'm sure they'll be looking in to answer your questions.

Magun's Compass is not closing down or going away. In fact we're going to reformat all our pages again, and finally get down to putting the rest of the travelogues online for your pleasure.

Thanks for visiting us.
