Sure. - drop me a line off list and we'll sort something out.
I'm in John William Court on John William Street, and look out over the 
station car park. I reckon it should work without problem from the Railway, 
and at a push it might work from the Head Of Steam. Maybe we could try it 
out at the next  meet?

What kit are you buying?
I've got the DrayTek 2200We, and can heartily recommend it. It's easy to 
configure via a web interface and has other useful features such as packet 
filtering etc.
I've got my Wireless side locked by MAC address ATM, which really does stop 
all and sundry from logging in.

It's nice to be able to lounge on the sofa with a laptop sans wires and 
browse the internet...
