I've started already.lol The only thing I'm a bit concerned about if I'm honest is the lack of trees. Kelling is in the woods as most of you know but beacause of the floods in the 50s (when the sea came in) and the farmers there are very few trees left to mask the stray lights from the roads, on the good side is there is only two small roads anywhere near the site.

There is a tall hedge along the village roadside, if I remember correctly, and I can't imagine there would be much traffic late on anyway.

Is everybody just booked in for the 2 nights?

Not sure why, but I thought we were there for the Friday day/night, Saturday day/night and Sunday day/night but it's just the 2 nights (Friday + Saturday)?

Craig, did you just book the 2 nights for you, Mick and me?

Already going to the Peak Star Party the same month, but very tempted by this as well. Just need to get a pass out from my better half or persuade her to come! Anyone going to PSP as well?

Just noticed we are in the same town!!

Are you travelling up on the Friday?

It is our first star party, we usually shy away from them feeling a little intimidated by the breadth of knowledge etc of others.

But now it is time to bite the bullet :)

Hi, yeah I can drive to your house from mine in about 2 minutes!!!

Yeah, I am driving over on the Friday afternoon coming back Sunday afternoon some time.

Don't worry about being intimidated, this is my first star party too, I have only been into this hobby for 18 months or so, so it is all still very new to me, besides, I find being around more knowledable people a better way of learning.

Your more than welcome to pop round one night for a coffee if you want?

I'm gonna try phoning again. They never responded to my original emails. Did you get email confirmation at all?

I only sent it an hour ago, I don't expect a reply till monday at least.

I sent a few emails months ago and never got any replies thats all. Going to try and phone again. Every time I have phones there has been no answer.

I just phoned and booked. Add me to the count - just the one body - I don't think the Management is ready for a Starparty just yet!

I've finally got around to booking (by e-mail) with Manor Farm for the Fri & Sat too!

Also just been to Decathlon and got myself a half decent tent.

Looking forward to my first star party now :)
