Team: peter, mandy, angie, bronwen & lynne
guests: Soul searchers kernow and guests.
Due to the site layout, the team decided against our normal cctv syStem in favour of using hand held night vision cameras only for this event.
This was a new venue for some of the team and so it was an interesting, although a rather quiet evening, during the night the team did report hearing some shuffling and various tapping noises while calling out in a vigil,
The cpr team have all agreed that this venue is well worth a return visit in the the new year.
Many thanks to Bev and the Souls searchers kernow team for supplying us with hot drinks through out the night.
A short video of our visit can be found on page 59.
