Hi all,

busy time ahead again...

booked for a whistle stop trip to Isle of Man for this years International Lighthouse/Lightship weekend. 19/20th August.

A small team of myself, my young Lady and 3 others will catch boat to see/operate (as GT4LAB/P and GW0VML/MM) Chicken Rock Light on the saturday morning, back to the main land in the afternoon and atempt to see the others in the locality( GT4LAB/P and GD0VML/P).

then back on the boat on the sunday to the Calf of Man lights, all 3 of them.

wont have much time at any of them on the saturday, especially Chicken Rock as the tides will only give us about an hour to talk to as many as possible.

photos as usual when back home.........

I know one of the Radio Hams who will be manning the station at the Point of Ayre,otherwise my only connection with the event is to fix a pulley on the tower balcony to allow them to position an aeriel.

I am quite sure if you visit you will be made most welcome

Hi All,

Couldn't believe it that I've not been on the Forum for 5 years...

Anyhow, still Bagging Lighthouses. Many more visited during the missed years.

Most photos have been updated on my website http://www.gw1mvl.supanet.com

Till the next update,

Ian.

WOW! Very nice website. You have visited many World Lighthouses. Are you planning a trip to America?

by **gw1mvl** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:48 am

Hi,

We were planning a trip to New England many years ago, but the finances put a stop to that.
We spent it on trip "Down Under". we hope to make a permenant move there in near future.
