Camp site booked.

Catering trip to supermarket planned.

All going well so far! ;)

I am indeed slumming it in the FRIAT grandstand Ian along with Bensmum and Bovril ;)
My vid from yesterday , this was all the footage I could salvage due to the rain but capturing the B2 was worth it [and predictably it stopped raining and became sunny a few minutes after she touched down ~x( ] :D

Everything was great despite the weather....

I especially liked the way you held the image

Thank You, Paul!
