Hi there,

In your base_url did you include a forward slash at the end? If so you need to remove it.

BAD: http://www.loddonexplorers.co.uk/drupal-4.6.5/
GOOD: http://www.loddonexplorers.co.uk/drupal-4.6.5

You've mispelled your website address

I believe you've mispelled the address you're using for the $base_url. It should be http://www.loddonexplorers.co.uk/drupal-4.6.5, not http://www.loddonexplores.co.uk/drupal-4.6.5. Note the missing second "r" in your current setting. Hope this is it.
