Mick I would cancel if I was going to Rother, but I feel committed & will accept whatever happens, except, if it is raining when the tent has to go up or when it is coming down, and, it is raining for the journey

Looks like Kelling and Rother will both be windy and cloudy with Kelling getting a bonus of rain  :-?

Metcheck says it will be "Fair"

That's got to be a bad omen  :(

well in preparation, for an ordeal, I had a bath, put my dressing gown on, put fire on & watched "War of the Worlds. Perfect for a rainy day.........unlike camping

Well I am taking some books and electronics projects to work on as I have a feeling that not a lot of astro-photography will be going on over the next 4 days.

Weather's not looking promising unfortunately.  Mike there is a bar there for the evenings if it's cloudy.

Yes there is a bar - with free WiFi.  But I thought it was open when it was cloudy and when it was clear  :cheesy:

Meteoblue is currently showing some clear sky on both Friday and Sunday nights.

Yeah but with several hundred people staying at the campsite and one bar, what is it going to be like on a cloudy night?

I'm taking my own bar! And stuff for making a new dewheater. And stuff to read. And of course there are subs to reprocess. And stuff to eat.

And Meteoblue looks very hopeful :)
