Thats a great video Daniel : cheer:,
believe me when I tell you I know exactly how you felt, at one stage it looked like we had blanket cloud cover, but then it cleared and we saw it.

I was clouded out for my first one in Germany 1999.

2001 Zimbabwe, 2003 Antarctica, 2006 Libya were all without a cloud in the sky (well 2003 we were above the clouds). This one came a bit too close. I wasn't too disappointed to be clouded out first time around because I didn't know what I was missing! This time I would have been really annoyed.

So 4/5.
