Did anyone local manage to go? I only live 2 miles away but was otherwise occupied!
Did anyone get along to it? I only live 2 miles away but was distracted....

I'll give that a go tomorrow, Tony. Thanks again for your help/advice.
Thanks, again, Tony! I'll give that method a try.
And, on a further note, I've also sorted the lighting up routine. A good burn, with the windshield and meths torch; open tap and pump: lots of...
