uDSC - 5th to 7th July - Blacklands

[Kylee]

Cool.....it's just that the website stated that! Have you got the postcode? It's not on the site!

[Mike]

Kylee go down the M23/A23 and come off at Junction 13.
Turn right on the roundabout onto Cowfold Road A272.
After 1.6 miles turn left onto Wineham Road.
Keep driving 3 miles to the very end of Wineham Road.
Turn right onto Wheatsheaf Road.
Blacklands Farm is the next right. You can't miss it, it has a plastic cow outside.



Turn into the lane and go to the end. There is a gate at the end on the right. Enter the 4-digit code (Battle of Hastings). Then drive in once the gate is open.

Once in the field set up anywhere along the right hand edge of the field or the corner closest to you by a EHU.

[Kylee]

Thanks Mike that's a great help......see you tomorrow 

[The Thing]

Mike, has the end of the field where you've indicated for Kylee got hookups? I have booked a hookup... Should be there around 6pm if all goes to plan.

[RobertM]

I'll be there a bit later tomorrow evening, probably around 8ish (just one night I'm afraid).  I don't have a hookup cable so could someone let me plug into one of their spare 13A sockets pretty please ?

Robert

[Mike]

Duncan - Yes according to Leon they've installed them along there.

Robert - No problem.

[RobertM]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it tonight but possibly tomorrow may be on.  Have a good night tonight !

At some point in the near future, I will have a weekend off, wont know if its this year or next or the one after that for a ll i know.
and if im lucky, very lucky, then it might coincide with a DSC weekend.

But the rumor on the grape vine is they are going to change our shifts
so we work Thursday to Sunday ,

and its the close one as well, thats even more annoying.

Mac.

[Mike]

Well we are all set up waiting for the sky to get dark. Today was a glorious hot sunny day. We got a visit from Chris. Spent most of the day just lounging around under the sun shield keeping cool and drinking cider.

The field is absolutely full of tents, even the lower field. We've left a space clear in case Robert turns up.

Fingers crossed for tonight. Just in case, the fridge has plenty of alcohol.

[Rocket Pooch]

It's clear here so you should be ok, unless you get the mist!

[MarkS]

Really murky here at High Halden - lots of dew and milkiness in the air

Hope it's better at uDSC.

Later edit 1am:
The sky directly above is now less hazy and the Milky Way is quite obvious down to 30degrees above the horizon where it disappears again into general murkiness.

Saw the first glowworm of the season tonight but it must be very lonely because I've seen no others

[Carole]

Hope you are all having a great time, was gutted I couldn't come, but got some Ha imaging done from Home instead.

[Fay]

you will have to set up a glow worm breeding colony Mark

[mickw]

you will have to set up a glow worm breeding colony Mark

Wouldn't that be considered as encouraging light pollution ? 

Kill 'em all 

[Rick]

Kill 'em all 

Light pollution is apparently doing a good job of killing off glow-worms all by itself...
