Mark @lastderbyminer.bsky.social · Mar 14

Mark @lastderbyminer.bsky.social · Mar 14

Send me a friend request when you get it sorted.

Be aware it sucks alot of power 😬😬

Yes, tilted towards sun, but still not expected this time of year

Mark @lastderbyminer.bsky.social · Feb 26

You could buy a mini travel pack as a back up.

I use one when attending F1, usually ladts for 3 days to keep phone charged up

I thought River 7 spring bore was bad enough😯😯😯

No where near 86ft
🤣🤣🤣

Fingers crossed CRT work quickly. Try calling CRT for updates on works when you arrive in UK. Ask them if you can speak to area team manager or a call back.

Speaking to area team manager gives you a more precise update on how repairs are going 👍👍

Mark @lastderbyminer.bsky.social · Jan 24

Should be fine as long as CRT stoppages dont over run

Mark @lastderbyminer.bsky.social · Jan 24

Looks like you need to hire a boat.......

Mark @lastderbyminer.bsky.social · Jan 9
