It is Sunday 26th September by this time next week the Hamfest will be over – except for the cleaning up. I am here to check the building before we start the set up, so I thought I would post a photo of the hall empty – just add one Hamfest.

Lincoln club hosts national festival.
The National Hamfest is next Friday and Saturday – so this Monday morning I am off to spend a week camping at the Newark Showground, to co-ordinate the Lincoln Shortwave Club and it’s friends in organising and running the event.
A big thank you to all those people who help out in any way, in making the National Hamfest a success.
Octagon Technology, for the third year is a major supporter of the show.

I have just added code to my new WordPress site – www.clivecatton.co.uk – to link it to my Facebook page. As the site/blog is on my server I have to code the link manually – where as my previous blog was linked automatically by WordPress.com.

Question
Is “The Big Bang Theory”
a) An explanation about how the universe started
Or
b) Probably the funniest programme on TV
If you have not seen “The Big Bang Theory”, then you should try it. If you know about it, already, then I have just watched the funniest episode so far – “The Agreement Dissection”.
Now to really appreciate it, you do need about ninety episodes of back story but it is worth catching up!

We are coming home via Loch Ness, Fort William, Glencoe and then Glasgow and the motorways.
Loch Ness
The Commando Memorial
Fort William
Glencoe – Lunch
We found somewhere to park along the route for a lunch stop.
A brew up and a chance to fill the flask for later. We really needed the extra wind shield in addition to the “built in” wind shield on the Crusader Burner – even so the wind was strong enough to push the flames onto the hardboard base and set it alight! The Crusader Mug lid I had made for me was also essential to get the pot to boil – thanks Mark – get yours here, from The Little Frog Group.
Small change of plans in the end, there were severe hold ups on the motorways around Glasgow, so we headed across to Perth on the A85 and then on down the A1 eventually.
And a photo in England.
