Just throwing the last few bits together now and making sandwiches for the journey. Dont intend on stopping on the way.

My original plan to leave from Downham failed after my car broke down yesterday, so leaving from home in a bloody Corsa. Hope it all fits! LOL

Situated at RAF Donna Nook the 'sealcam' will be right at the heart of the colony. You can get the closest views of the seals and their pups on our coast from the comfort of your computer screen when they arrive. **The webcam is only operational during daylight hours updating a new picture every 5 minutes**

Looks quite tranquil at the moment!

Be prepared for the worst, and anything else is a bonus.
I'm not even looking at weather reports any more.

I'm as prepared as I can be. No money left to weather proof myself/gear any more. I had rain covers for my camera and 70-200, but obviously too small for the Sigma. So I'm resorting to heavy duty bin liners and insulating tape. :rolleyes:
