The car is tucked up in the shed at the top of the hill, I have sent the location to a few likely attendees for this Sunday.

Anyone's welcome to come along... if nothing else, it's a nice ride out.

Here's its view over Malhamdale:

If anyone else wants to know where to come, speak up, or PM me.

Sorry Mark, Google Translate drew a blank on that one.

 

Spheres:

There are two used spare spheres with the car, I've tried to snap the markings for ID.
First one:

They both have "ND" stamped on the brass snouty bit. (Techy term)
 
The second:

The OS one looks like someone's had Stilsons on it.

Sadly I can't make out any markings on the fitted spheres.

 

Mark_Hairnet has slid into my D_Ms about spheres... apparently there's a place really close to where he works that deals with them. Recharges them an'all. 

It's handy to know, lets see what we find out from those pics, and this weekend's tinker time.

Lovely location, sadly too far for me this weekend.

Give one to your significant other as a gift. They make lovely ornaments...

55 will be bar pressure but I'm unsure of what the other markings mean. The replacements don't look in their first flush of youth either but as long as they're not ruptured Hairnet's sphere man should be able to regas them. Ruptured ones can't be regassed IIRC.
