This is not a problem! I'll be down that way next few months. My cousin has a weekend place in West Kilbride. Quite close to KH I think.

Dec update, a bit of rehash in it of the energisation timeline but looking good for T8 finishing soon. A fresh insight into the cabling works surrounding the job especially the railway line pull. :shock: Complicated.

Interested to see if reality beats the predicted trend. At least for a while.
