So we're clashing with Kelling and the Les Granges trips this month. Who's left to go to Rother Valley then?

There was a post on the subject that suggested that Julian was our only member going to Kelling. Rother has two bookings so far.

Phil,

I have a strange feeling that Mick, may have booked on Tuesday, had a few beers and a Doner, and booked again on Wednesday, after Tuesday became a big blur. ;)

Very civilised. All you need now is a cellar, some hand pumps and optics and you'll be the most popular guy at DSC.  :P

Isn't the whole point of aperture fever that you end up with a nice large 'scope to shelter under? :evil:
