Strangely, I could access it on my mobile phone but not using my home internet... which gave a Cloudfire DNS error page. (Just checking, and that's still currently the case)

I can access the home page, but clicking on any of the links brings up the Cloudfire message.

I think Lee hosts it, so will just have hope it gets fixed soon

On my home internet, I have no problems accessing the home page, or any of the other linked pages that I tried just a few minutes ago.

I do know that around midnight UK time, or maybe a bit later, the servers used apparently carry out site back-up operations. You can then get pages timing out. Also a time-out happens occasionally during the day. So just wait a few minutes and try again.

Hi Mark,

I have had this on and off for the last three days. Actually the homepage seems down now as well. Don't worry, I will just wait for it to be up again.

I know this does not help you much, but I tried again just now, and it’s still working for me. Maybe you should try to ping it and see what the results show.

Thanks Mark,

Just checked again and I'm pleased to say it's currently fine
