No worries Chris - I wouldn't bother with the taxiway and the pits, give yourself the afternoon off! Charging batteries and doing aircraft maintenance jobs (with a beer or two) is a better way to use your time

So, you do have a trailer then! - that's good news. Maybe we can pencil in a day to do that after yours is returned.

The ground is definitely dry enough to permit driving in, that's the first thing. When Steve and I were there earlier the council contractors had tied a rope across the entry-way, and from there across to the handrail on the top of the concrete channel (you can see it in a couple of Dave's photographs). If that's still in place tomorrow morning, then we won't be able to drive in - unless we temporarily take it down and then replace it as we leave. Walking in doesn't require getting past the rope, since it stops short of the second gate. Steve was going to ask the subbies about access tomorrow on his way out, as he left before I did - perhaps he's got a more informed story to tell.
