Tnx to Colin GM4HWO, Andy MM0FMF and Peter GM4DTH or these photos:

 Nice evening on arrival.

 

 

But “there is coos in the field” as the farmer had warned.

Hopefully everyone remembered to bring their wellies!

Colin reports that he has just submitted this photo to the editor of Landrover Magazine (LRM) and that it has been accepted for publication.

Brilliant News / Coos!  The farmer is delighted.

 

 

 The sleeping tents were strategically pitched close to the wall.

But it was necessary to pitch the working tents in the middle of the field.
