alamak....arrived there at 2145H with full battle gear and everyone had left and I can see why! How can you compete with dozens of kits, many with LED lighting? Looks like Marina barrage not a good place to obs as it has become a popular haunt for night time kite flyers. [smilie=crying3.gif]

Can't be. I left about 9:30, Richard, Weixing and a couple of otheres were still there. Richard could not have packed his 26 kg worth of equipment in less than 15 mins n disappeared unless he is David Copperfield!

We were on the roof top. Maybe u went to the dam?
