Tip of the day - If you tie up on the outside, you don't have to let your tea go cold whilst your adjusting your moorings

After Jahno nearly taking us into the safeway Multistory car park we decided that the Lorry Park at Heston Services might be an easier option

Well thats it for my Photos! - I hope somebody has some pics of me getting wet

Thanks Jahno for starting the idea - and Thanks to all the London guys for there help in finding a excellent launch site (if a little breezy)

Looking foward to next time - and seeing the other photos

Here are some of the pictures I managed to get

One camera got swamped in the recovery stage - so is drying out on a radiator - if it survives ther may be a few more to add.


I will send any individual photos not here to the relevant owners.

First Picture - launching on the excellent slip
