Allan the Plumber Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Have to say the location looks great. (Thanks for the pictures allan) I was going to book late and come late Friday but looking like it would be too much effort really as have to be back for an event in Sunday afternoon and should really attend a meal with my partner Saturday evening too. I'd probably miss the best of the W too but here's hoping you'll all have a great few days with some clear skies, good observing and imaging. I'll hope for next time! Best wishes Steve Dont want to jinx but Friday maybe okay it's cold and clear at moment Johnnyaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyaardvark Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Dont want to jinx but Friday maybe okay it's cold and clear at moment As tempted as I am just for the evening it's such a long way and I would be arriving late... Camping so would have to pitch a tent at some point... to then come back for a meal Saturday evening it would be a little crazy to do it! Good to hear it's clear now. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyaardvark Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Very nice of you to offer Allan. I'll have I think about it and keep an eye on the weather. Have to be realistic though and it is quite a trek. Shame that work prevents me from getting away during this week! Have a great evening all!

Brantuk Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Looks like a nice level site with good spacing between pitches. Is there any lighting problem from the Scouts or Caravan Club? From the pics it looks like it might all have been just a "last minute panic"? Edited October 9, 2015 by Brantuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) The duke of Edinburgh awards kids are not here yet, initial issue with white light from only 1 of the other campers but a quite polite word and they sorted it immediately, even had quite a few of them join us throughout the night and they were well impressed. It's worked out quite well actually, they are a walking / hiking club and as such they have a "leader" so we arranged with him that if we had any issues we go to him, if he has any issues with us he comes to Martyn or myself, it's amazing how well things work out when your polite and civil. Had a fantastic clear night all night until about 4 when the seeing went off, we called it quits about 5:15, a truly awesome night!

+seven_legs Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Looks great. Would of loved to have gone, will go next year if we can get the date out early enough Allan the Plumber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Looks good there, shame we didn't make it. But it was a good job really as my youngest son was admitted to hospital last night very poorly, I've barely managed 2 hrs of broken sleep last night and i'm an absolute zombie there would have been no way I could have made it to the campsite. It never rains but it pours, I think I am going to give up trying to plan anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Home safe and unpacking, 1/2 hr holdup on the A1 due to a RTA but otherwise trouble free journey. Thanks everybody for a great weekend even if it was cloudy! The pub was decent and bird watching although quiet was breathtakingly beautiful!! (Thanks Mick!)
