Celeste Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Lol mine can easily sleep 12 people in the 4 bedrooms (3 in each) plus many more in the living room part, then I still have the front and back porch areas to store kit. It's a big one. I need a dry day to have it out and check it's ok...not seen the light of day for a few years but it's dry stored so should be good Edit: Is there a starparty kit rundown of what's needed/required? (I have the camping bit sorted) Edited August 31, 2015 by Celeste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well........pretty much all your camping kit, with more warm cloths and bedding chucked in, just in case you need it. Eye mask so you can sleep in the daytime, not unless the tent gets too hot. Then all your astro gear. + Red lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ibbo Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 warm gear twice as much as you think you need red screens for computers don't forget something to insulate you from the floor red lights in tents(its surprising how much light shines through a tent) covers and red tape for car lights if you cannot turn them off batteries spare batteries BAZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I hope your tent holds out and you can make it. I'll be there and will help with getting the planning permission to put it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I hope your tent holds out and you can make it. I'll be there and will help with getting the planning permission to put it up. So far I only need a red light for the tent, my car interior lights can be turned off, although the indicators flash when locking/unlocking. Hopefully I won't need to go in the car after dark. We have both camp beds and airbeds...will see which we prefer. Plenty of sleeping bags etc carpets for the bedroom floors and carpet for the living area. I also have a tea urn so hot water on tap Plenty of warm clothing, a fan heater and cooking kit etc. Or we could live off pot noodles and jaffa cakes it's only a weekend. The less campkit I take the more room for the scopes etc I have 2 sheets of red acetate for lappy, ooooh I need some more red lights for outside I only have head torches atm. Erm.....i'm sure there will be something else lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
