Bless you for the kind words all, much appreciated. The purpose of the post was to explain my future absence from CiA game threads and to stop the ru...

When I left the site I told Stephen the D10 was by the field gate that the Brits had been using so hopefully that has been picked up.

Heh, another challenging CiA event - well, we do like to test you mentally and physically! Well done to all for the stirling effort, working 'til you ...

I've posted this a few times now, much improved from it's first version a few years ago, and makes good use of "Web 2.0" technology. http�...

Phew, that put my mind at rest - arrangements for a site have been less than conventional this time!

It looks like just a smattering of rain at the moment but they all agree on the wind. The area we are playing is in the lea of the Black Mountains so ...
