Great drive down, Thanks to Jim, and Nick for leading at a brisk pace
Lovely weather and views. Couple of shots of the cars parked down below from the top of the lighthouse all 153 steps high

It looks like you had a great day for it.
Why is the beech so empty? I would have thought with the weather it would have been packed.

I was wondering where the hill was when you sent me the pics for inclusion in the video!
Hope your little daughter likes it. I tried to make it a bit different and fun for her to show her friends.
I'll post the link after it's uploaded today hopefully.
Portland - The Movie

Have uploaded one video from Sunday at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtHYQbubff8
I had to split the stuff up as youtube complained, so Portland - The Movie 2, and possible another one will be up when I have the energy to push any more buttons.
I think it would be nice if Tipec grabbed some YouTube accounts for Regions to upload any videos of events
