Title: UDSC 27 - 29th June
Post by: Carole on Jun 16, 2014, 08:04:30
Any-one up for it?

I know the night will be short, but if the sky is clear I'd still like to go.

Our weekends are booked up for a little while yet so we can't come either. Hope to make the July one though.

I'm a bit busy that weekend and will have no car but I might be able to make the Saturday night only.

[Edit:  I've just realised I can't make the Saturday either :(   But July DSC is in the diary!]

OK, shame you are all busy, though maybe the weather may not play ball anyway.

Good luck with your op Mac.

So looks like it could be me and Mark H and any-one else who hasn't replied yet.

Well only MarkH has shown interest in next weekend and it's weather dependent anyway, but this is the reply I got from Cairds Campsite:

QuoteWe have space for one campervan and also some tents. The pod is booked for the weekend.

So post here if you want to come and we'll make a decision later in the week.  There are still a few who haven't replied on this thread.

QuoteIm having my head opp on the 19th
Did you get you op Mac?

Sorry Carole my mum has had a fall and ended up in the PRU  not good, so I'm out I'm afraid.

Yup, all went well 80 mins under the knife,
Head's a tad sore (understatement!)
Its amazing how much pain you can feel when overdosed with paracetamol and nurofen.

What was the purpose of this op Mac ?

OK, so unless any-one else says they are interested, if the weather is OK I'll go on my own as there are objects I want to image from a dark site.  If any-one finds they can come at the last minute, let me know.  I'll go to Cairds rather than Running Waters on this occasion.

If I remember rightly, wasn't it a cyst that needed cutting out or something.

Sounds like we will have to arrange a reunion later in the year when the camping season has died down a bit, and there are spaces for everyone as I miss the DSC/UDSC's.
Maybe sometime in November/December......
