Who wants to come?
I haven't contacted Len at running water yet as I wanted to be sure enough people could come as we cancelled last month because no-one was available and didn't want to contact him until I was sure.
No Glamping PODs at this one.
I would like to go.
Carole
I'm a yes.
Count me in!!
Mark
Great that's 3 of us at least.
Carole
and me!
Not me, I'm away
I'm also away.
Im in cornwall picking up James. :cry:
Mac.
I've got a family event, have to give it a miss.
Roger :cheesy:
I also have family events on but I might be able to do the Friday night.
Why do people always arrange events for new moon rather than full moon :!
Robert
Lol, I will try to arrange one specially for you Robert when there is a new Moon. :lol:
So 5 now.
Carole
Mike
Mark
Fay
Robert (maybe Friday only)
I'll get in touch with Len and make sure he hasn't got a party booking.

Something to do with monthly cycles? :wall:
My Fiona is always arranging things for new moon, I've had to leave DSCs in the afternoon and get back around midnight to do some imaging on several occasions!
Petra is coming too now Carole.
Sorry Mike, yes I assumed Petra was coming, I was just counting pitch numbers.

If anyone can go on the thursday, I may go for the xtra day
I'd like to go Thursday too but not sure I can get away, I should know at the weekend.
Robert
Have you decided on a location yet?
Carole is organising Running Waters Rick, not heard any more yet
Thanks, Fay. I've updated the main website.
Hi folks, sorry been away for a couple of days.
Yes Running Water can accommodate us.
QuoteIf anyone can go on the thursday, I may go for the xtra day
Yes I thought I'd go Thursday if the weather was good Fay - see you there and Robert too if he can make it.
Carole
As usual, weather not looking too good for weekend, at the moment
On my trusty yr.no site it says
Thursday night raining, so I won't be going on Thursday.
Friday raining during the day, but clearing after midnight (so that won't suit you Fay ;))
Saturday clear until 1am
So looks like a possible 2 half nights of clear sky if the forecast doesn't change.
Carole
It's looking like we are going to get a lot of rain tomorrow, and only clear skies are forecast after midnight on Friday and nothing on Saturday.
On this basis, who is still coming?
these members said they were planning to come? i.e. should we cancel (again!)?:
Carole
Mike & Petra
Mark
Fay
Robert (maybe Friday only)
Carole
well it is not good Carole, so I have to say I wont come. bit fedup about it, wanted to test my tent, but perhaps another weekend
Fay, it would be an ideal weekend to test your tent. you'd be able to see if it is wind proof , water proof and conducts electricity... can't think why you wouldn't want to go... :lol:
Carole

Fay

We are going to wait and see. It is still too early for an accurate forecast.
well will keep my eyes open and if there was a great improvement, may go friday and go home monday, if someone else was still there.
I'm keeping my eye on the weather forecast. Don't want to cancel yet.
Mark
Wellies, cagoule and Wierd French Stuff for damp proofing...
Looks really bad for thursday, may be quite muddy on friday
Yes that's what I was thinking Fay. I am of a mind to give this one a miss, but will keep watching the weather forecast, but don't want to sit or pitch in a soggy field.
Carole
Romney Marsh has an amber warning now. More heavy rain from 4pm onwards
New Romney High St suffered flash floods today. Just a few hundred yards from the camp site.
Mark
Oh dear

Blitzortung (http://www.blitzortung.org/Webpages/index.php?lang=en&page_0=12) was showing some intense lightning clusters over Kent this morning. It was hard to see the map for the markers. The thunderstorms must have been quite impressive...
Here's the report:

This report contains a lightning strike map:

So who's going?
Mark
It looks like a wash out to me. Even the "clear after midnight" forecast for Saturday has now disappeared and even if it hadn't we'd be sitting in an extremely soggy field.
So I have decided there is no point in going.
Carole
Agreed

That was only a maybe ;)

Just to tease us the weather forecast is now showing a nice clear sky for Saturday. After this rain, it will probably be a nice sky too. However, I agree the camp site is probably a swamp by now.
We can never win, Mike. forecasts are conflicting
OK, I will let Len know we have cancelled.
Carole
He wont be surprised
Ask him what the state of the field is please Carole.
He doesn't respond to his E mails very quickly Mike and I can't put my hand on his phone number at present.
I am going to have to ask him for it again.

Ironically I'm sitting here outside with Dee with cheese and wine and a perfectly clear sky. The Met Office is showing me cloudy skies. I guess that soon they'll look out of the window, see the clear sky and update their forecast :)

Ditto but without the Dee, cheese, wine and Mark. Weather forecast was way off even here. Even spotted a couple of good meteors.
Can't even rely on the weather forecasts, but I think the field might have been very soggy.

Well they have forecast clouds and that's just about all I've had here :(
I looked out on several occasions last night between 01:30z and 03:00z. The sky was not obviously cloudy, but I think there was a high-level thin haze, as only the brighter stars were visible. It wasn't worth going outside for. Later in the night, when there were some clouds out low in the northwest, the clear patches of sky were better, with the Pleiades showing nicely in the east.
