Rother Valley have reserved 2 spaces for us in June, they had already taken other bookings as it is following the bank holiday and it's half term.

They have no problems with us spreading out but It sounds like there will be quite a few people there and as the weather should be warm and dry  :lol: we would still be doing stuff until about 3am which may not go down too well with the neighbours.

Moving the dates to the following week would mean First Quarter moon (similar to next August)

I think we should also consider going to Blacklands.

So decisions/suggestions please.

Whatever the choice it needs to be soon because whatever the preference I don't know the availability of pitches at either place or dates

Cant make the week after so i'd rather go to Blacklands.

Can't go anyway, unfortunately I'm holidaying in France on the motorbike....

I have mentioned to Rother that we may may not go on the original date.

I'll wait until tomorrow before trying to arrange alternatives.

Don't forget to vote.

In the event of a tie, I will make the wrong choice without any help  ;)

Blacklands website is down at the moment.

I'll ring later and ask availability of 4 adjacent pitches with hook up, that should give us a start and room to spread out

We go to BLACKLANDS


I've initially booked 4 pitches with hookups
When you book (and I suggest you do)  make sure you mention the astronomy group

Thread subject and main website adjusted accordingly... I think...

I assume there are more than 4 pitches available Mick.  I assume you've grabbed 4 just to establish our area and hook up, or does this mean we all have to squeeze into this space?

Also do they have Hook up splitters should we need them?

Thanks Rick

QuoteAlso do they have Hook up splitters should we need them?

I don't know, but if you book a pitch with a hook up you won't need one.

I have booked 4 so that we have an established area, you should book yourselves anyway mentioning the astronomy group
