grendel Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I too had the update when they locked out this morning and have been following their track homeward bound (just off Walton on the Naze as I type). it does sound as if Griff has had a great weekend, I look forward to seeing the video when it comes out.

BroadAmbition Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Home! as here in Donny safe and sound. Well that is one huge tick in the box on the ol bucket list. So honoured and humbled to have spent four days onboard MTB102. I have taken a ton of photo's and quite a few video films too, As of yet I have not even looked at any of them, (need to get organised for work in the morning) Robin will no doubt do his editing thing and come up with something or other. I'll get onto a write up of sorts but not got any spare days/evening in the near future (Having to work this Sat and Sun) Griff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polly Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 What a good job you guys weren't coming up river today, an hour ago the Dartford Crossing was blanketed in thick fog, not much to see of the river at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I got invited onboard the Gloriana so was very lucky, I took a video of her too, if Robin doesn't use it in his latest blog I'll do something with it for all to see. The photo attached - This was breathtaking (I've since ordered a poppy). The visit in the Tower was also very good Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sos247 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I just can't believe they decided to release you from the tower! Anyway guys that the last time I try & bribe anyone in life.....£105 wasted, I know it was only £5 each but thats not the point!..........
