Yer, no bother - i'll take my D60.

I wonder why it's so low, it's not been an abnormally dry summer or anything. Will be interesting to take a look down there

if you fancy dropping into the water from there ill bring my drill and bolt it then you can just ab into it , if it's that low you might get a good shot when you get level with the water . just remember to put your wet suit on (unlees you name is DOUGE then you can put a GOOOOON suit on )

I am up for getting wet!!

Count me in for this, could do with some practice Wouldn't mind getting wet myself may bring me wetsuit along

yes sec . ill try and get hold of budgie

Im not sure Mike, Lots got a bad Foot she hurt over a week ago on the Dog's Blanket(?), Aaron & Nic are still trying to work out Bus/Train times back from Yale. so I have no idea.
It may be best to give the short time we all have on Thursday for the ones doing the trip on the 19th.

Marty - for info - water level was low - but not low enough to see any further. got a couple of shots of Johno splashing about but nothing 'new' in terms of new area.
