Weather forecast is getting better by the day, plenty of sun with a few showers....always fun setting up in the rain :lol:

Makes for a good weekend....loads of slipping, sliding and the cries of "TREE" coming from the depths of the woods followed by laughter, and if it's really good the sound of the chainsaw.....:lol:

Yeah, and the sound of the chainsaw is usually preceded by the phrase "One last run" :twisted:

I'm not sure I like the sound of this planning... Knowing Teach here, if I were fudge I'd be really quite concerned.

Just spoke to Greg:

He says not to worry about bringing generators. We have a hefty one on site, and a spare up the workshop, so no need to lug another one down, along with buying fuel, and stinking your trucks/caravans out with fumes. Thanks for the thoughts and offers though.

No need for a gazeebo either. We have a mahoosive tarpaulin that stretches between various trees to provide shelter. Thanks for the offer though.

I'm hoping to get down during the day at some point armed with camera and vid - subject to the Sedona running OK.
Deffo won't be in the Fronty I'm afraid because it's still in bits :thumbdown:
