OK, I'll start the TT off and the others can add their efforts. It kind of went like this.
Friday, 3 May 2013.
The usual rush in trying to fit everything into a few hours before picking up RP and Leachy got worse when RP phoned to say he had cancelled one of his classes (I think that's what he said) and was ready to go. I was still in Spar buying the few groceries we might need. I quickly found a spot in the back of the Landy for the one bag of groceries and headed off to RP's place......wrong move, I took the wrong road and ended up stuck in the traffic caused by doting parents picking up their kids from school.
Finally made it RP's who was ready with his giant cooler box and a fairly stuffed kit bag with his clothes for the weekend. It looked like he had packed enough for a month.
So, we had to find room for his massive coolbox, my fridge and another coolbox, now you know where the rest of the refreshments were Dewi, and off we set to pick up Leachy. Now here is a man who knows how to travel....one minute bag for clothes and a huge camera bag, stuffed with photographic equipment.
One thing RP and I couldn't understand is why the two knowledgable photographers didn't use the latest equipment available. Their cameras don't even have auto mode, now how old fashioned is that.
Made it to White River to pick up the dead cow I had ordered from the butchery and hit the road. About 400 meters down the road, wouldn't you know it.....one of those stop & go's for road repairs held us up for 30 minutes.
Now we're running late, so a quick call to Sprocky who was heading down to meet us at the Gurnsey turn off. "Don't worry" says he "I have a slight technical problem.
