Just managed to free the car.  It was stuck after the overnight rain but the sun has dried the ground enough to free it.

This time... ;)

Trouble was that last night, in the dark, I parked in a slight dip - now parked on higher ground.

Does the little mobile phone symbol next to Marks entry show that he's posting from a mobile site, and if so at least shows he's not kidding us from home.

If he's got "lucky cam" with him I'm sure we'll all regret not going!!

Fay,

Have you ever known Mark to be unlucky. No doubt that a meteorite will land in the middle of the field with only mark there to take the photos. ;)

Sorry, Mark, but on my system this just takes me to a world map which tells me you're somewhere on the planet...

Hold on a mo....the whole of the address given in your post doesn't seem to be active. If I paste the complete address into my brower then I do, indeed, get the Rother Valley campsite.....so your Blackberrys  there at least...

Not sure whether to admire you or be afraid of you - You're either dedicated or insane  ;)

SAT24 is showing a possibility of about 40% cloud at the moment - good luck  :)

Accuweather shows +3 feeling like -1 with partly cloudy through to 2am tomorrow (Sunday). If I could have got my arse in gear, I'd have been there with you  :roll:
