Damn graham, I don't know about you but I was nervous as hell for you.
That sideways drifting over the water and in close to those trees had me clenching.

Remember the mantra, "Keep moving forward". :)
At least you can see what you are gonna hit. :)

The second part around the digger was los right?

Correct on all points :) The sideways was due to me being eaten alive by midges:) I tried LOS to finish off the battery, and gave up after that as the midges were so bad i was getting eaten alive:)
