I just wanna say I had a crackin day. Really nice to meet new peeps and old peeps as well. My frikin knees are killing me this morning but it was worth it.

Really nice atmosphere and some hilarious moments (me trying to leap to Yiths aid and splitting my trousers in the process) as well as some scarey ones (not being sure whether we were flanking the yanks or the yanks were flanking us).

Will be capturing the video today and seeing what I can do with it. Its very difficult to film woodland stuff so dont expect too much but I think I got some good bits.

Cheers for a good day all. Would do it again... but without the camping bit :D

Ok Video may take a wee bit longer. Final Cut Pro decided to crash on me and I lost all this mornings work. What makes it more annoying is that the auto save function only seems to work when it feels like it! GRrrrrrr

I had a bit of trouble with Googles uploader so will try again tomorrow some time with a better version. :)

Excellent Diggah! - you've made me late for work now!

BTW, for those that are interested, thermobaric grenades at 8 and 11.30 mins.

PS - Sorry about the peppering on our final assault but then war correspondent isn't an easy option! :twisted:

Yeah I bunged it up on Google as Youtube doesn't allow vids over 10 mins. Therefore I've done a 10 min version. Uploading at the moment.

Ah I wondered what those grenades were. Looked an anticlimax from where I was standing.

After much farting around and lots of other jiggery pokery (a word that isnt used enough :) ) I present the hi-res version for those that cant see Google Video

I had to host it myself as Youtube were being super crap so I gave up and did it the (almost) old fashioned way :)
