Thanks for the info Gary. The third posting was particularly useful :whistle: [ I spent a minute or two interpreting the first two to arrive at a similar conclusion!!] I appreciate you posting these things for us.

So, it looks like the 27/28th is due some lousy weather then. :'(

Wellies on & hope to see some of you there. [eagle1 & nick197??].

don't forget spare batteries! :)

I plan to venture over there tomorrow. The weather doesn't look too appealing but it's far better than staying at home doing nothing. Black Corsa, fighter control sticker in the rear window, scruffy unshaven face, answers to the name Steve :lol:
