Really sorry to hear this. I know how much work goes into organising something like this.

Sadly, I wont' be there on the Friday evening, so hope it goes well.

Looking fantastic Kev. Can't wait to see it for real this afternoon. See you later.

Looking fab Kev. Let me know when would be a good time for you for me to pop over and admire it.

Hope the dog's OK mate.

Almost there then Kev?

It's coming on now mate. Nice one.

Something like this Kev? https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/330984010367?chn=ps

Really looking forward to it as well. We're at the top of the Red field this year. See you all there.

I agree with Linton. Take the longer route, which passes not too far from Los Gigantes and follow the signs up to Teide. It's really easy driving, even in the dark, with none of the hairpin bends going via Vilaflore. Steve will look after you if you pop into https://hotelcasazaguan.com. Dave

A cracking job there Kev. I'll have to whizz down and have another butchers once we've moved.

A big "Hello" to everyone. It seems a long time since I frequented these parts. Now I've got a bit more time on my hands (impending house move allowing), I thought I ought to try and make a bit more time to get back in here and re-join in all the fun. (It'll also allow me to keep an eye on AstroKev's observatory build progress). It still seems to be very active on the forum, so I'll definitely try and keep in touch much more than I have the past few years. Speak soon folks. Dave

Looking good Kev. ?

A number of barbel weights, 2.5 and 1.5 Kg. Suitable for use as counterweights on equatorial mounts. Free to good homes, but must be collected from Northamptonshire due to their weight.
