Deep Sky Camp 2011 March 4th to 7th

[Fay]

Yes that is what I thought Mark.

How many nights is anyone going for & who is thinking of going?

How is Blacklands ground Mick?

[mickw]

I haven't checked Fay, but Blacklands does drain better than Rother and it's not on a hill.
I'll email anyway.

If all is well I intend to go Friday as usual and may even stay on Sunday

[Rocket Pooch]

I agree with Mark, all you also need to do is roll around in the mud a bit and pack unpack pack and unpack your car outside your house and drive around the block 100 miles, same feeling of dirtyness, cleanlyness and also packing without the need to stay in a wet field.

Sorted...

[mickw]

Now that could start a new trend - PSC - ( Pseudo Sky Camp )

[Rocket Pooch]

F-PSC version, where you drive 720 miles south to see clouds and drive 720 miles back whilst burning money, a more advanced version of the same game.

You've been really unlucky Chris - the rest of France has clear sky at the moment.  Are you sure you didn't take English cloud down with you?

If the weather forecasts stay as currently predicted I am thinking of going down Thursday afternoon (tomorrow) if I can get organised in time.

[Fay]

So is, Duncan, Julian, Mike, Tony going?

[The Thing]

Duncan is going Friday evening for one night only if the rain holds off. A clear sky would be nice and there's more chance down there than up here.

[MarkS]

I'll make my final decision tonight based on the available forecasts.

At present Friday night, for one night only, looks probable.

[Carole]

The weather forecast has changed so will decide tomorrow now.  I won't be coming down and freezing unless there is a reasonable chance of a completely clear evening.

[The Thing]

Meteoblue and Apanel both say Friday night will be clear in Henfield, though seeing and transparency won't be fantastic.

[mickw]

Just received reply form Blacklands - Not fantastic but .................................

Hi Mick,

The field is wet, however there are places dry enough to put the tent, the motor home has to be on the drive (hard) around the field.
If you do decide to come, could you please fill in the booking request form on our website. www.blacklandsfarm.co.uk

Thanks

Maria

Any thoughts    ?

[Tony G]

Not to sure whether I will be making this one, as 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'

I am beginning to wonder, really not sure what to do. I do not want to go thru all the palavars if the field is dubious & sky murky, & not many going. It has been a very bad winter & conditions will not be that good.
