My apologies! I thought Christopher was the contact from a previous email.
Do we know if this is someone else's property of if it's government land? In
the spirit of do-ocracy I'm organizing a trip to make this happen on
Saturday.
Is there a procedure that Spacebridge normally follows for contacting a
potential land-owner before they go on site?
Cheers,
Glen
