Hmmmm . Lol.
Welcombe aboard caps

ill come along simply because its another day out with [Team|Wiki] and they are always fantastic, but I do agree with Kev, it is much better on a non-open day, because you tend to get crowds of people on the island... however, if the telegraph station is open there is more to see and more information to gather.

The last time I was over there was in November 2007 when me and Scott went over to get cut-off by the tide and have a laugh for 6 hours, it was quality, took some fantastic shots and had some hilarious (dangerous) moments lol.

Should be a great day out and ill be taking a packed lunch and a flask of tea with me, id recommend everyone do the same, if the weather is nice.

I was planning to go over there in the next few weeks to get a load of photos to replace the ones I lost of the place when my old hard drive died. Thats why I am fussy about going where I want on the island. Also it was going to be pretty spur of the moment because I want the weather to be good for the photos. I also don't think in this day and age of health and safety that Ranger Smith will allow us to brave the rather treacherous rocks to get to the cave at the back.

Talking of dangerous rocks, my grandmother's father was a Ranger on there, must have been about just before the turn of the 19th century and she slipped on the rocks as a kid and damaged her back. They tried to straighten it with a steel plate with a weight on it, it didn't work and she ended up with a badly disfigured back. Just thought I'd mention it. The surname was Jackson I think, if anybody asks or gets to see any records.

nope were ok for up to 10 peeps! any more than that we will go over as 2 teams

I was going to go this weekend to get my photo mission out the way but high tide is mid afternoon and the weather is shight so I would have to wait till next weekend anyway. I can always sneak off regularly when I get bored of hearing about wildlife.

2 groups going over.

Seems like a lot a hassle for a lump of sandstone you can walk to whenever you want, tides permitting. I will just go on my own if there is 1 too many before the walk.
