An unofficial Deep Sky Camp will be held on the weekend of Friday 16th to Monday 19th April 2010.

The venue is yet to be decided, but we are looking into somewhere near Lydd.

Please post in this thread if you are going or might go so we have an idea on numbers. Thanks.

Any suggestions as to where we can go ?

I don't know anywhere in the area so will leave it up to those that have at least been around there.

I would suggest that we at least plan to go to Blacklands if nothing else turns up.

Agreed, but let's try and find somewhere near Lydd if we can as it is really dark down there. Plus, we can go fishing during the day.

With power would be preferable.

Can't guarantee power.

I don't know, you guys get a taste of having hook-ups and you all go soft.  :roll:

If there's no power i'll just bring the genny, that's all.
but if its a public site, i don't really want the genny running most of the night.

I won't be going to this one. Some relative of Flis is having a birthday do, and 'We must go, as we haven't seen them for ages'   :evil:

So looks like May is the next for me.  :-?

Hi,

I only really know new romney farm, but it has the light, Blacklands is now non-swamp and fully open.

Anyone got any ideas?

Well it is doubtful we will find a location near Lydd in less than a week so we may as well make it Blacklands.
