as the week goes on i'll start putting "weather" updates down for sat, i havent as the weather is quite unpredictable at times

[bcfcciderhead]

I looked at the BBC 5 day forcast and it looks wet for the weekend:(

but as we all know it can change so quick,

i will keep looking till 5pm on saturday to see what it's doing...fingers crossed.

[garethmob]

[garethmob]

bbc weather : light rain

metcheck : (not working)

metoffice : rain

[garethmob]

weather again

bbc weather : light rain

metcheck : (not working)

metoffice : light rain

it dosent bode well really hopefullly it will change

if it does rain on the day does any one want to meet up somewhere else, or call it off?

[valleyman]

It looks slightly better for Friday night, Might be a bit short notice for some but Saturday does not look good. Having said that, never trust a weather forecast

[Matthew]

Very true pat but i agree saturday doesnt look very promising

[garethmob]

just got back home from work looking at the weather from the last 2 days and now it does look like tomorrow be better than sat.

bbc : clouds

metcheck : cloud with poss light rain

met office : cloud

as apposed to

bbc : rain

met check : less cloud but higher rain possibility

met office : rain

tomorrow is unfortunatly out of the question for me, as for the first time in 3 months stupid busy on friday night (60 orders on evening we usally only have 20 - 40 )

but me unable to come shouldnt stop any one else if the weathers good sat i still will go up the site if the consensus for tomorrow is yes then i'll post weather updates and if taffy_2 wil help a more local update to say if its a yes or a no

[Matthew]

I will post weather updates throughout Saturday morning/afternoon.I will visit the site around 5pm,and I will text you gaz (will send you my number later).At least then we will have a good idea what the conditions are like and you can decide if it's on or off.

I will also be popping up the site tommorrow night for a few hours ,if anyone wants to join me let me know(if your unsure about the location I can meet you)

[garethmob]

i may need some help off some one my car it seems may need a new battery get paid monday my jump starter i use for my scope is my main one i use for my car, and it can jump it twice so i may um need to borrow one for a few mins to get home id owe the lucky person a pint

ye tha be great taffy_2 id post some when im around in work as well

[Matthew]

If your stuck on Saturday I will pick you up gaz.You wouldn't want to break down up there.

[garethmob]

today it needed just jump starting so it does appear it was the battery and new ones arnt exactly cheap ah well but thanks for the offer i might have to take you up on it i'll let you no

[kev 102 42]

[garethmob]

weather agains showing tonight being clear with clouds, and tomorrow rain i'll post again before and then after work tonight (better 24 hr results then)

[valleyman]

Going tonight, two reasons

1, weather does nt look good for tomorrow

2, have a 6 hour drive on Sunday.

Pat

[garethmob]

hope the weather tonights good pat looking at sat 24 it might just be very clear tonight (like last night was very good) if im able to finish earlier, i might come up but its going to be from 9 - half 10, and i wont have a scope with me if i do

also i actually delivered to the farm meeting place in work the other day

[Matthew]

I will be up the site from 7 30 tonight if anyone wants to join me your more than welcome.(I believe pat is coming)

[JonnyP]

I'd love to join you but I have no petrol in the car and no money until tomorrow!

My brother who works in Brymawr has just texted me to tell me that there is a complete layer of cloud up there atm, though.

[ArsoN]

I was just wondering, next saturday (1st oct) is looking to be clear, do you guys go there on a regular basis? Unfortunately I can't make it tonight.

[Matthew]

Hopefully the cloud will break,last night by 10 o clock it was very clear .I can't wait to see pats new kit lol

[Matthew]

I'm at Blaenavon most weekends weather permitting,(usually Sundays)if your heading this way give me a shout

[garethmob]

as soon as my cars working fine i hope to be there if its clear

[Freff]

I'm attending a wedding function earlier on that day, but I'll try and get there.

If I do what is the best way to drive in. What I mean is, are folks viewing in the car park opposite the transmitters. I don't want to drive in and spoil any imaging/viewing.

[Matthew]

Good morning all,we will be in the car park but it's quite large(as long as you knock your lights lights as soon as your in it should be ok)pat and I was up the site last night but we gave up at 9,100 % cloud cover lol(nice dob tho pat)..

I've checked several weather sites their all saying thick cloud/rain but I will keep you all posted

[garethmob]

Good morning every one

First weather update for the day.

Bbc: cloudy but with rain.

Metcheck: cloudy and rain.

Met office. Rain but could be clear.

So at present guys it's looks not very good. I'll post another but later
