Be sure to go there between Mid-June and 16th August. During the season the ferry leaves each second hour al day. I had to spend allmost a whole day on the island, and I was the only passender on the ferry!
So trapped a whole day in a coastalbattery all alone..... Poor me! :wink:

Hello Erik

Yes ---- "Poor you" !!!!

And at the end you had to count the seagulls - eh !!

I feel real sorry for you. 8)

That must have resulted in about 2000 pictures from that Island, or what ?? :lol:

Keep us posted ( but no seagulls, please )

Who cares the guns? The handling is absolutely perfect: the only rust I saw was on the endless-screw moving up the 381 barrel.
