With respect, it's always easy to say what you might do in any given situation, but when it comes to it, hell , thats a different thing. Truthfully, if you are outnumbered or in an area anywhere in the world where guns in particular are used, compliance is recommended. However, living in London, i find eye contact, confidence and a certain amount of arrogance, will see you through. I do believe that generally 'victims' choose themselves, by their fear, shitheads can smell it, it is the smell of themselves, Hyenas, fear driven. Pack mentality. God this world is sad!

hmm sorry folk but that doesn't sound like good advice
never turn your back on a friend and especially not an enemyor group of potential ones
i would continue forward and cross the street at the next avaiable opportunity
failing that i would stop and stand with my back to a wall and allow them to pass
if they wish to accost me , well oobviously i am gonna politely negotiate my way past
if they are gonna mug me , i guess it is best to hand over whatever you are carrying as life is more precious than possessions

I guess, with regard to everything but the Berlin incident (which was down to my own stupidity)! lol!
Advice; if, when walking into a side street, you see a group of ten or so highly conspicuous individuals, turn around.

Yes, I have had a gun pulled on me here, but I have also been mugged in Berlin, a city with one of the lowest crime rates in Europe. I experienced guns in the UK and Netherlands too.

Is your nickname 'Lucky'?

Stephen, what you are going to find is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world.
There is a lot for you to see and do here, take your pick..clubs, beaches, mountains, plastic people, religious pilgrimages?..it can be disappointing musically, a bit of a backwater.
Just like any other city, you are going to know whether being in a certain place is a good or bad idea, just keep your radar on. Yes, I have had a gun pulled on me here, but I have also been mugged in Berlin, a city with one of the lowest crime rates in Europe. I experienced guns in the UK and Netherlands too. I would rather walk in downtown LA than many parts of (North) East London ;)
Enjoy :)

thanks for tip
a mule trek was considered but i don't know how i would manage my luggage so i'm taking a raincheck and sticking with the comfortable option
even considered a helicopter flight
have to decide when i get nearer to it
L A looks daunting just by the shear size of it
learnt to avoid wilshire district
pity sounds like a great club there

Don't go to the GC from late November/early December..unless you are really a hardcore hiker. Much of it will possibly be closed to the public , too.

I'd not recommend you to circumnavigate Sicily by pedalo, Darren. Unless your pedalo is provided by James Bond, and you are armed to the teeth.

Fuck me, Stephen. You’re a cheery fellow today.

But I agree with you. Life’s too precious to waste. Tomorrow, for example, I shall be scaling the Polish Line of K2, followed by all igator wrestling in Florida. Friday I’m unicycling to the Meteora monastery, and then circumnavigating Sicily by pedalo.

Saturday and Sunday I think I’ll have a bit of a rest, as next week is quite busy.

well life has no guarantees
you or i could be knocked down by a vehicle crossing the road
or drunken idiot mounting the pavement
car crah whilst in friend's car
electrical accident at home
fire caused by neighbour
or left a parplegic by any one of those scenarios
or as you say struck down by some disease
all you can do is try your best and enjoy life every second you have and be grateful for another day
