Kielder and Salisbury Star Parties

Well I spoke with her Monday night cause I got stuck in Blackburn on business & I am sure she said she was in Grantham for the night which is only 120 miles from Bromley so based on that it'll take her 3-days to get to Kielder which is about 360miles (if she doesn't get lost of course).....

Haven't heard from her since Monday night...

Do you think we need to arrange a search party.

A couple in a camper van at Salisbury Star Party were leaving today and driving from there to Kielder, I told them to look out for Fay, though I think it might be rather a large star party there, but you never know, they might bump into her.

I packed up and came home today. We had hail stones this morning as if we hadn't had enough bad weather. The afternoon however was nice and sunny with rainy intervals, every time my tent dried it would get wet again. Luckily it was dry (ish) when I eventually packed it away mid afternoon.

Glad to be home and in the dry and warm. Nice crowd of people and nice to actually meet some of the people that chat on the forums. All very friendly.

I can't unfortunately as I am singing in a concert on Saturday evening, and final rehearsal Friday evening.
Shame really as I could have just left the car packed from Salisbury and come straight there.

I looked at the weather forecast for Sixpenny Handley (Where the Salisbury Star Party was) for last night and it looks like more rain all night, so made the right decision to come home, I was having to come home today anyway because of the above.

Any-one heard from Fay, she seems to have disappeared into a black hole

You might well be right - I sent her a text yesterday to see if she'd arrived but no response.

Has she got her phone on

but i doubt that there is service in Kielder,
