Deep Sky Camp 2011 March 4th to 7th

[Carole]

there are places dry enough to put the tent

But will these areas be near the hook up I wonder?

Carole

[Fay]

Well that is what I was thinking. Mick may be a long way from the designated suitable camping pitches as well

Humidity looks top notch as well

[MarkS]

... I need to do DIY in the house that I thought I'd be in until my old age, but apparently not according to 'She who must be obeyed'

She's throwing you out before you get old?

[mickw]

One good thing -

At least it won't be an old peoples home 

[MarkS]

Any thoughts    ?

Have you thought about buying a tent instead?

[Fay]

Well have deliberated & congitated & have decided that I am not going. Fried breakfasts for the week!!!!

All a bit iffy & if not a lot of us around, it is not the same, and if we are scattered regarding dry pitches, not good.
So will have to wait until next time, after Kelling, when we can have a good chat, drink, laugh & image in the warmer weather.

PS it has arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS it has arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Do tell, it is what you ordered at Astrofest?

I'm not going to bother if the chance of a clear sky is slim. It's too cold just to sit in a field for 2 days for no particular reason.

[Carole]

The weather forecast is changing by the hour.  I am thinking not to come now.
Completely agree with Mike's reasoning:

Just had a desperate look at the forecast - not really improving.

I'm not going to bother for one night, I'll save myself for April when all the riff raff are at Kelling
Not sure what to do with all this beer though - Wait, I have an idea  

Have you thought about buying a tent instead?

The van has it's advantages over a tent -
I can drive to a hookup around the road
Gas central heating
Hot running water (now I've fitted the new £102 water pump  )

Yeah but you can't squeeze it under the stairs until the next DSC. (unless you take out the front of your house)

under the stairs

Is that your DIY project, you're building stairs ?
If you put stairs in, it won't be a bungalow any more and you won't have to move

QSI 583, Carole

[Mac]

Fay if you do go to Blacklands, you can always pop over, I'm only round the corner, ish.

Mac.

[Fay]

I would have liked that Mac, but am not going down there now, as too iffy. Julian is not going either or Mick.

Next time, I will make a detour
