Great PR guys, it's just what we need here in the UK.

Hi Alan: How goes the process? Can we see you folks gliding via the CHA webcam? http://www.cardiffharbour.co.uk/tour/webcam.htm

Hi Wayne, it's all good but everything takes so long

.

We've now finalised the details of the tour with the CHA Barrage Manager who is very pro the whole thing. The next stage is a meeting with the Health & Safety manager in about a week's time; apparently he's uneasy about the tour mixing with pedestrians but I'm hoping that we've got enough evidence to get up and running, initially for a trial period.

So, all being well, you'll be able to see us on the CHA webcam soon

Hi all,

I've just got back from a meeting with Cardiff HArbour Authority and am pleased to announce that they have finally agreed our tour, initially on a trial basis, to start in about 2 weeks time (just in time for the summer holidays).

Needless to say I'm very pleased

- watch this space for further info.

Cheers,

Alan

Congratulations! Job well done. I wish you all the best with it Alan. I'm sure it will be something we can look back on and use as a positive example of how well and safe the machines are, and the many opportunities for companies to put their capabilities to good use. If I'm ever down your way, I'll definitely climb on board for a tour.

Well done Alan,

I know you have put a lot of effort into that tour, and have had to overcome many obsticles, you deserve to succeed and I'm sure you will.

If ever get over the bridge I'll gladly take your tour.

Hi Alan,

Congratulations! Be sure to enter your tour info at the Segway Guided Tours directory:

Thanks,
