Tom, This looks like an interesting scenario , unfortunately , too far out for me as it would mean a round trip of 200 miles or so , and the small angular diameter of the station doesn't merit that sort of travel. Co-incidentally , the area isnt that much further north than my double transit during the summer.Hopefully someone a little nearer to the target zone will give it a go.Mind you the weather isnt looking too good. If anyone in NW UK is hoping to give it a try , let me know as I think I can supply an aerial image to help identify a suitable spot. Regards, John.
