Bu@@er that means two cars not one for Team Chopper, or I need to get a blender ticket. I will try for the latter. I know a man who can.

OK, there is no need for alarm and despondancy, it is a simple matter of trying to make Fridays fills as painless as possible as we will be in rather late, i personally don't want lots of driving/hanging around and air will be available. Having some rich mix to decant will make life easier if you want Nitrox.

Getting J's delivered is OK as long as Pete is happy, can be there to take delivery and collection, we have an account with a local supplier and can then sort out the costs afterwards. I really don't have the time or inclination to start sorting all this out. I am happy with the available option.

I personally intend to come down with gas for 2 days or some rich mix to decant that evening, but then i have access to plenty of cylinders.

Sat and Sun fills are just a case of going to a local Dive centre and getting a fill, i just prefer to let them know in advance that X number will be turning up, it sometimes negates running out of O2 which has happened to me before. We have the Dive Connection and Triton to use, both a bit of a drive, but both fully capable of dealing with ease with our requirements, so there should be no problems.

When i was in portsmouth a few weeks back the dive centre staff came down to the jetty in a transit and collected the cylinders and filled them returning them the next morning. It was about £10 extra (shared between 12 of us) for the colelction and delivery.

I think it was dive connection but I'll check.

Hi Paul

I'll bring my cylinders filled for Saturday's diving so just a 1x 15 and 1 x 12 l nitrox fill on the Sat night required for me.

Jane - did you say you'd found a campsite nearby, or do I need to book into one of the B&B's with the rest of the softies? (Only joking guys! )

Cheers, Cath

Dont know the area at all for campsites Cath and havnt looked yet. However, I do believe it will be best not to own up to knowing Howard as I understand there was a slight altercation between him and a campsite owner last year and it was only Fionas intervention that saved the day as it were

[Fiona]

Jane you will be fine as long as you don't arrive in a flatbed truck with your worldly goods piled on the back

Oh and the tatoos didn't help

Jane, I've edited out all the unnecessary bits of your post - what's left is the important bit

[Ian@1904]

This coming week I will do a nitrox blending course and may acquire a suitable whip in time for the gig.

Who is this Howhard chap. Does anyone know him? Can't say I know him myself.

Ian, I note your change of byline under your avatar - does this culinary prowess extend to a camping stove.....any tips on how to make my baked beans with sausages a bit more exciting
