Booked as I left the spring one 😉

Me too😬

Back home after a good drive and another excellent GSP. Car all unpacked and stuff put away. Thanks to Leslie for her outstanding campsite and hospitality.

Really good to meet old and new attendees, Derek even made a surprise visit👍

Saturday night was by far the only clear night😂😂. Excellent images Lucas👍, post more.

Skies have been kind to us this evening. Not perfect, but gave newcomers a taste of Galloway Star Party skies 👍. Wind has given us break too. This afternoon was a glorious day up here.

Bad news for me.

I came down the stairs this morning carrying a weight and something in my left knee went.

So at present can hardly walk let alone carry any thing.

I am almost certain that I will not be at the Star camp.

 

On a seperate note:

I was also informed that Uplooker may not be there either as he has had some bad news

Who am I going to borrow batteries, spatulas, dog ground pegs, rope, Ducktape etc. from? Very inconsiderate. What about Annette? What is she supposed to do now?

Gone cloudy and quite a bit warmer here

Apart from Ian 

I’m not late - yet 😮Last meal in a warm house 😬

Safe journey

I’ll be there😬

And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Derek and Annette.

Look forward to seeing everyone next year.

Have a look here to see if you can spot the tool bag/box, apparently it precedes the ISS

Arrived back at 1500hrs, good journey but with heavy rain most of the way.

Another excellent GSP, good to see old and new faces not to mention 3 clear(ish) nights in a row.

Thanks to Derren for all the organising and Leslie and Ralf for a fantastic campsite.

Still not seen one of Derek’s images 😮😮

Sorry to hear that Peter. Be sure to get there for the spring GSP.

Speedy recovery👍

Hi Folks,

A wee bit of news. I have just spoken to Lesley the camp owner.

At present there are 18 pitches booked for this Star Camp. Therefore, there are still 7 pitches left for latecomers if wished.

Please note that the New Moon is on Monday the 13th November.

The preceding weekend does still have very dark nights, so anyone wanting to book for that weekend can still do so. Not everyone attends on the same days so talk to Lesley the site owner if you want to attend and she will advise you further.

I wish everyone who wants to attend can do so.

All the best, hope to see you all there

 

Hope I am booked🙄

Thanks

Not quite getting ready, I am still on holiday. Looking forward to it though😬

Why do I get the blame.......

🤣

…. for foul tasting whisky. Probably because your the one who brings it😉

Excellent on the Aurora. Did see alerts but it was chucking it down

Chasney scale - I like it😂. Lovely morning here too - but windy.

I’ll be there😬

I’ll be there😬

Hi All,

Unfortunately I am now not able to attend this event. I have yet to notify Leslie, but will do so in the coming days. I have been double booked 🙄. I have not missed an event since I first attended a GSP SP over 10yrs ago.

Apologies to all who maybe impacted by the omission of my erudite personality and provision of food and drink😮

May I wish all attendees a fabulous time and will catch up with you all at the Autumnal event.

Apologies,

Ian

Excellent capture!

Found ya! 😇

Another great GSP over. Thanks to Leslie and Ralf for excellent campsite and assisting with pie and peas night.

Thanks Derek for organising pies, peas and raffle and Jim for drawing.

Thanks to Jim and Dawn for organising Leslie’s flowers. Let me know by PM what I owe you towards them

Hope everyone is recovering from their maladies.
