diamond jubilee beacons

Our rugby club is lucky enough to have been selected to be a Beacon site :D
 
We've got three on our land Lympstone, Exmouth, and Branscombe - i confidently predict that we'll be run ragged by jubille preparation and celebrations and have no time at all to get decent photos
 
I'm going to do the Burton Dasset one too I think, but at a distance. The weather will dictate the distance but I am looking at about 3/4 mile, with a 400mm.
 
Not quite sure what settings to use. Got my tripod but not done this sort of thing before. Can anyone advise please
 
If it stays fine, I might drag the tripod up to the top of the hill at Downs Banks, near to Stone.

Not sure about settings, a bit of trial and error. F5.6 and something between 5 and 10 seconds?

Chris
