Detail:
Glitch got a nice surprise this morning, discovering that 3:45am was actually existed as a real time as he boarded the train for his long journey northwards. Bullant was up at a far more respectable 5:30 to head north as well. Storm clouds were brewing as the sun came up and a deluge of rain set the scene for a potentially scrubbed mission.

Luckily the 5 RBG members were able to take advantage of some cleverly located parking spaces under the Gateway Bridge approach, where we set about armouring up and awaiting the arrival of the photographer. After convincing him that we were OK to head out into the light rain in our costumes, we headed up the start of the pedestrian walkway attached to the bridge and had some fantastic photos taken.

The photo(s) should be on the front page of MX magazine sometime next week, so if anyone who catches the train/bus can keep an eye out and grab a couple of extra copies that would be great!

Charity Funds Raised:
Nil.

Injuries:
None.

Malfunctions:
None.

Public Incidents:
You'd think we could have avoided photo requests hiding under the gateway bridge, but we had two members of the public coming up and asking for photos.

Mission Status:
Success. The photographer was very interested in who we were and what we do, hopefully we get some good exposure out of this.

Photos:
Note these were taken on Glitch's personal camera, the professional ones looked a lot better ..
