deep sky camp :(

where is the video?

Mick has a medical condition & is waiting to go into hospital

Is that the reason why he couldn't stay?

I won't be going to hospital for a couple of weeks which is plenty of time to recover from pneumonia.

But when I couldn't get the van in the field with the rest of the troops, it all seemed rather pointless 
And the thought of wandering back to the van through all the mud and sheep sh*t at god knows when o'clock was not very appealing 
At least watching the video I now know a possible reason for the vast amount of sheep sh*t - poor little sods 

Mac did point out that it will be much better in February as the mud will then be frozen 

[Mike]

Mike - All I can say is heaven forbid the day you ever miss a DSC... whatever the reason....!

Chill! I'm teasing people

[Fay]

Mick, were those poor sheep in that field with no shelter?

[The Thing]

At least the sheep were warmed up by all the running around. Probably added considerably to the depth of the sh*t while they were at it.

[Fay]

Mick, I see what you mean by, poor sheep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



It did not look very muddy, I thought it would be like a quagmire!

[Fay]

If the farmer had been a different person, he would have shot Frodo

[Mike]

He attempted some swift kicks with his wellies and kicked a football at him. I think next time it will be his trusty 12 gauge.

[Fay]

I think they have a right to shoot dogs pestering their sheep. Also one one the sheep could have broken his leg when tumbling. Chris would have had a £500 lamb bill!!!!!!

Chris, I expected you to be more agile in the rounding up of Frodo, you could have thrown yourself through the air & landed on top of him..................perhaps. Now that would have been a good video   

[Mac]

I think they have a right to shoot dogs pestering their sheep

quite true, but it was a registered campsite so that might have been an issue!!

Also one one the sheep could have broken his leg when tumbling. Chris would have had a £500 lamb bill

Ture, but we would have had a fantastic sunday roast. 

[Fay]

Oh, so do you think that sheep should not be in the field?


Mac, you are naughty, about the roast       

[JohnP]

Well I for one definitely wish the sheep weren't in the field... it's a right pain kneeling down to do your polar alignment & putting your knee right in a pile of sheep ***t.... I guess there is nowt we can do about it if we don't want to change fields..

(seem to remember having this discussion before...)

[Mike]

We were having a discussion about finding an alternative location for DSC. If the condition shad been a little bit worse we would not have been able to hold it at all. During the summer months we coudl always decamp up to Woodlands camp site which is nearby but that is obviously not open all year round.

We need to start looking for an alternative place to stay, preferably with better facilities (not that this one has any at all) and tarmacced parking.

[Fay]

That would be good Mike.
