A cold day but as usual a very warm welcome from you all - well worth the run over even allowing for the fog on the way.
A big thanks to Ken (stevo snr) for the lift over, meaning I wouldn't have to bring shame onto the proceedings by arriving in a fiesta :getmecoat:.
A few photo's, hope I captured all

I thought from the layout (concrete bunkers covered with earth berms) that it was laid out like a Nobel explosives factory.
Turns out I was close :)
