I'd like to go Thursday too but not sure I can get away, I should know at the weekend.

Hi folks, sorry been away for a couple of days.

Yes Running Water can accommodate us.

Yes I thought I'd go Thursday if the weather was good Fay - see you there and Robert too if he can make it.

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.

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)

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:

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.
