I’ve missed so many things, did some cool stuff too though. This one I would have loved to attend, but I just don’t have the resources at the moment.

I’m just glad some other folks were there to capture those phantoms beating up that valley.

Ha, the forum software doesn’t like instagram links I guess. Or it’s my customization of it…

No dramas roger. I clicked the link after posting to test and all seemed ok. I know for future reference not to link to instagram 👍.

great little video. wow, how close are those base spotters? and no visible fence-line. they are mostly using smart phones. we need telescopes 🤣

i do wish our UK laws were less strict. but then,i do wish the UK public could be more trusted.
