Hi Allan

I was planning to get there a little before sunset to see the place during daylight. Thanks, see you then.

Damn shame Geoff. At present I appear to be the only contender for Saturday. I will need a few more to indicate a capacity for Saturday, or I will just set up in my backyard!!

I will be there today (Friday), around 4:45 - 5pm. Hopefully.

Let's see what Friday traffic has to say about it.

See you all there.

Looking forward to seeing John and Phil (and anyone else who can come) on Saturday night.

Clear skies for those going tonight.

I have spent some time this morning blowing off the cobwebs off the Mary Rose, and have purchased a new 1200 Amp battery pack:

After 6 years of faithful service, my previous 1000 Amp Projecta battery pack has finally been retired.

See you all later!

Thanks for posting Jakob.
I think they are pretty good.
I can recognise them all.

YES, Friday was a great night, with a huge roll up.
Nice to meet so many new people.
And the weather was the best for ages.
And not a hint of dew.
Locked the gate at 20 past midnight.
Thanks to all who came, see you next time.

Hope tonight was good for the others.
