Thanks vanHorck, we appreciate the pat on the back.
Chalkie's plan is to be on the ground at Southend for twelve hours, sleeping for ten of those, before he sets out on the return journey.
This gives us a bit of breathing room and we'll see what extras we can implement on the website.
Talking to him while he's flying has proven quite challenging so far.
I can't talk to him right now because he's surrounded by people and is rather busy but, hopefully, I can talk to him some time in the next hour or two and will discuss the possibility of more regular calls to him on his satellite phone while he's flying and, if that's doable, then I'll certainly be posting more updates with info directly from him.
