Of course, but it's 80 miles in the wrong direction (i.e. 160 total) from where I have to end up on Sunday if there's nobody there when I arrive because it's too early, etc.

I'll try for 0930, just to see what's happening and offer moral support. If there's nobody awake, I'll go and look for some pylons ...

It's quite impossible to keep regular updates guys, sorry. Everyone who is here runs literally non stop from the early morning when Rovers drill wakes up everyone, until late night, when everybody just drop into their seats happy not to move a muscle anymore.

Lack of volunteers and limited hours in a day makes it very difficult to post updates regularly, altho we do check in now and then for words of support and any help coming our way! Everyone is welcome to turn up any time, every helping hand and support is needed and appreciated.
Come in, the kettle is on! :D

Understood! That's why I thought it would be a good idea to have an official blogger on the next project.
Vee4 wrote:Next time, perhaps I could help by sitting in a corner and writing a live blog with progress updates, 'meet the team', answers to member's questions, etc. There could be a Twitter feed and Facebook page as well. That would keep me out of the way and stop me asking stupid questions such as, "are you sure that's not a left-hand thread?" or, "isn't the red wire supposed to go on the plus terminal?"
