Hope you others had safe trips back. :y
Well, I made it up Birdlip without too much hassle, despite the pillock who pulled into outside lane, then slowed down and didn't gun it until the steeper incline starts...  ...so I'd lost all momentum.

It was the other side of Oxford that there was a sudden judder, followed be Christmas tree dashboard...

Cheers all for another good meet, good to see the old and some new faces.

Had a crap trip down, but a good meet and good trip home.

Sorry, due to 'technical difficulties' no photos from me this year.

What's wrong with doing it the old fashioned way? Other than the amount of alcohol imbibed?

I have some photos but they need processing which my netbook isn't really up to doing and Newent 3g is delivered on a bit of damp string I think.
So piccys will have to wait till we get home.

It did go down exceptionally well. As did your port. And the trip around the Isle of Islay on Friday night. I blame Hotel21 for the latter, as its now become tradition.

If I had a decent split prism focus screen then yes, but the red square system does not work well.

Just given the camera a sensor clean as testing showed it was the more accurate centre focus point that was misbehaving.

Need to test some more, but it looks a promising start.

Frankly I wanted to leave the camera alone until I had a chance to have a proper look.  Shame as there was much to photograph.
