The Expedition of March 2007
This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

 

Following our visit to the Knockholt contest sites in July 2006 on what seemed like one of the hottest days of the year, I suggested a return visit in early spring to take some photos of the March contest site without leaves on the trees. Both Bill and Alan were very keen to do this, so a return visit was planned for early march.
As we had also contacted Mike G8AMG over the christmas holiday, and he had expressed an interest in a return visit to Kent after many years, this was an opportunity too good to miss.
The Three Horseshoes

So once agaon we found ourselves in the Three Horseshoes at Knockholt for lunch. This being March we had to eat inside.

Unfortunately in the last 38 years somebody has straightened the electricity pole!
Not sure what the next task will be.
