I've been at the car park which was shown on the email as the meeting place for this trip since 1815. It's nearly 1845 and nobody else has arrived?

***Edit.

***I waited the half hour and then drove half an hour back home. Not sure what went wrong.

Sorry the trip organiser wasn't there to meet you, i don't know what happened there.

If you feel that you could do with some electron ladder practice and can make next Thursday's
trip at the spar mine we can bring a ladder along for you to practice technique.

Again apologies

No worries. I don’t know where the entrances are so I could only wait at the meeting place.

I’ll come along again Thursday. Thanks both.
