To get to Marconi - take the second left after London. We will be there 24/7 from Saturday for 2 weeks - so do give us a shout if we need to roll out the red carpet.

Hi Liam,
There are some people camping at SSC until Friday so there should be someone at the club.

Thanks to everybody for their kind words and to Andy Jefferies for his words.
Apparently loading a Dart 15 up with a trolley, changes of clothes, food and camping equipment makes it a bit slow. It would have taken longer than I had planned especially as the "too good to be true" forecast let me down a bit.
Very big thanks to Erling for dropping everything and coming to get me on the 4am ferry this morning.
Have had a really interesting sail on a fantastic little boat and have learnt plenty for the next time.

Good for you. Next time - we can mobilise team dreadnougt properly and get all the heavy pointless stuff taken overland so you can just sail. Plus the longest ever high pressure known to man was not going to make for a quick passage.
Nice one Erling, too.
Folkestone looked rather nice after all!
