That looks really good, i'm very impressed!

I don't think a mile to the pub is too excessive however it might be 2 miles on the way back to allow for wind conditions and "swayage".

I'm up for that place, most of September should be fine and the wife may come too as well on this one (she'll kick my a if I forget tentpoles this time though).

Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
