Total Eclipse of the Sun from the Lizard point, Cornwall

A visit had been loosely planned for 20+years since JLA (John Atkins) gave out small yellow cards with the date, probably at 6th Form.
I took my kids, JLA had arranged campsite, Michele my then girlfriend joined us for a day.
Eclipse aside we had a good holiday time on the Lizard.
From my time stamps the eclipse was around 11 Aug 1999 11:12 Lasts about 4 minutes
Obviously you can't look at the sun, we used welding glass, or
My first electonic camera of that time was fairly low resolution.
