It was a shocker. My tent got wet from underneath the floor. I had to let it dry Wednesday night. Not game to turn the power on with wet feet in the dark.

So that's why Wednesday is missing from your temperature records. Better safe than sorry, that's for sure.

Thanks for the happy snaps Dave, sounds like a good time was had by all. We would have liked to make the trip again.
HRH is retiring, so next year is almost a certainty, we might even kidnap RB on the way up......

Talking about zapping, between you and Peter you carried enough static to blue screen the entire field.
