Guy, I have a reciprocity table for paper in my page
http://members.rogers.com/penate/pinsize.htm it only gives you corrections for
up to 20 minutes, but I just rapidly extrapolated some other values I hope are
of some use for you as "starting point". Here they are:

For 30' multiply time by 7 for a total of 3 1/2 hrs
For 1 hr multiply time by 9.5 for a total 9 1/2 hrs
For 1.5 hrs multiply time by 11.5 for a total 17 1/4 hrs
For 2 hrs multiply time by 13 for a total 26 hrs
For 2.5 hrs multiply time by 14 for a total 35 hrs
For 3 hrs multiply time by 15.5 for a total 47 hrs
For 6 hrs multiply time by 21.5 for a total 129 hrs

That is a wise decision!

Wish I could be there! :-(

Best of luck, Guy and your fellow photographers.
