Who is planning to go to DSC beginning of March?
It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

Me if the weather is OK

And (as I said last night, for the benefit of those that didn't go to AGM  :P) the venue will be decided on the weather during the week.  If it doesn't rain it will be Rother Valley if there is a fair bit of rain it will be Blacklands

Me! Me! Me!  :beer: +:flame:+ :baa: = A good weekend!
Ah! The joy of the outdoors and the camp camaraderie. Not to mention the cider/beer/wine/stickies/spirits (though not in the same mug at the same time).  :beer:  A "cloudy" sky would be nice as well.  ;)

Not sure about the sheep but Tony may have thoughts on that score.

It depends on the weather.  The websites I have looked on so far do not look very optimistic for that weekend.

When will these clouds ever end?????????????

:cry:

I'll only come down if there's a chance of clear sky.  Otherwise I'll be at home packing - looks like we'll be exchanging contracts in the coming week.  Lots to do!

Well so far the forecast is for clouds but as I'm going nuts at home I'll probably go anyway - unless it's chucking down.

Rother and Blacklands have both had some rain every day since friday (daytime or night) which is not good for Rother.
I'll whack off an email to Jackie to find out what the ground conditions are like but I'm leaning towards Blacklands

Not sure where you are checking but it doesn't look too bad to me at this moment in time:
