    Our inaugural tour was a great success with fine meals around the campfire shared with our guests, clear and dark skies for our Astronomy tour, new detecting skills learnt by our participants, some fine relics found & even some gold when we went for a swim and a panning session. Thanks to all our guests for their eager participation and help in making the weekend a great success.
