Yeah. Its open for upto 50 days a year but the MOD actually normally only open it for around 10 days in reality.

A bit for x-mas/new year and a bit for Easter. Apparently they occasionally open for 1 day in August depending on training schedule so will have to keep an eye on the schedule.

I've tried lightening the water crossing shots of Ferris as it was getting dim and in my haste I mucked up a few camera settings but it has only taken effect on photobucket and not on here yet. Guess it must cache images so might take a while.

There was some really good lanes down there, i was quite surprised. It was a much different experiance than the last time i went there without a map. I will definitely be going there more often.

I didn't get that many pictures i the end, but here are a couple...

Love the last one of your truck mate.

Really reflects how dim, cold, and wet it actually was.
