Due to light nights etc, i will come down for the day. also I need a screw.

the part that goes into the back of the scope that holds the camera, i have lost the screw, probably at Kelling. if anyone has an assortment, i go go through, i would be grateful.

I am glad that you described your "screw", Fay.  I was a bit concerned .....  :o

I have heard from Jackie and provisionally asked for three pitches to be reserved, if you are going please call the campsite 01797253997 or email at mail@rother-valley.com to make your booking.

See you Friday whoever is coming down!

I know it's early days but the forecast is for clouds and gusty wind  :(

Hmmm, it's changed since the last time I looked at it.   :! :!

According to Meteoblue the nights will be clear and the winds will drop a bit. Any showers have low probability ('cos I'm a smelly git - thought I would get it in before you lot do!). I am optimistic.

I understand "Float the Duvet" will be incorporated as an Olympic event in 2016  :lol:

Sorry for the late notice, but I will not be going to UDSC.

Well that's no fun. However all weather sites I look at regularly are showing different forecasts which include heavy rain, high winds and gusts. But there is still a chance of clear skies and the wind dropping. In the morning I will look again and decide if I'm going to chance it. 

Carole

Yes, I am looking at the wind and weather.  Will make a decision tomorrow.

Tonight looks like a no go, Saturday night still looks hopeful but there are thundery showers forecast for the daytime. So I have decided it isn't worth going and putting a tent up. Maybe the weather gods will smile for us next month...
