WeatherPro on iOS, usually fairly accurate from my experience - hope not on this occasion.

Met Office website forecast for the Skegness area is much more promising with clear skies on both Fri & Sat night.

Been to visit the ems1 site tonight. Its seems a lovely site you will be crazy to miss it. Loads of space if you want to come.

I've just sorted going to EMS1.

I'm planning to leave work at 3:00pm (I'll have to clear this with the boss and make up the time!), with the gear already in the car, and head straight to the site from work. It should take me about 2.5 hours to make that journey I would have thought, getting there for 5:30pm - 6:00pm.

Sheila has kindly offered to loan of a tent and sleeping bag. :D

I hate doing stuff last minute, I have to plan in advance and this is completely out of my comfort zone!

Did somebody offer me the use of an inflatable matress? I forget now, I think it was in the shoutbox??..... If the offer i still open, then indeed yes please, if not then no worries, just couldn't remember and forgot to ask previously.

Aiming to be there around 2pm I think at present.

Handset at the mo, though I have the cable for use with a laptop but it has a silly bright blue glowing power button on it... Bloody ACER. :(

Damn just checked sat nav and its 45 miles further than I thought. 260 miles door to door so might not get there till 7pm. Is there a gate closing time? Also lights might be a problem then ??

No gate as far as I know, sound your horn a few times and I'm sure somebody will guide you in Tom. :)
