Having watched the weather from afar, I doubt if any of the inflations took place due to the southerly wind. Anyone see any actiivty from the Castle field ?

Thanks for the heads up Bob. Unfortunately, either the web link has been updated since you posted it or I can't see the event for looking. At my age its probably the latter. ;D In case anyone else has the same problem I've placed a direct link to the event at the Chatsworth House web-site. Looks like its going to be a great day out.
