Count me in.

Edit: I'll probabably get there about 7:PM.

[stevetynant]

I wouldn't think its going to be that dark by 9pm anyway so plenty of time to make it on Saturday

Hi Colin - I would guess people will be at the site anytime between 7 and 10 although it should be dark by then . 7 is a little early for me but depends how long your scope takes to cool down or set up - The co ords to the site are 51.790521,-3.069595 - Mat doesn't live too far away and can meet people at Asda in Brynmawr sometimes - I'm not sure what his plans are this time but I'm sure he'll let you know.

Coming from Newport I guess the quickest route for you would be to come from the Pontypool side of Blaenavon - I usually come accross the heads of the Valley and drop down into Brynmawr then make my way accross- its probably longer but its the route I know.

If your struggling to find it or not sure - let me know and I'll do a walkthrough from the Brynmawr side although I appreciate its not as short a route for you coming that way - otherwise I'm sure Gaz or one of the other folks coming from the Newport side can help.

Hope you can make it - will be good to get out for a change

Steve

[Matthew]

You can meet me in ASDA Brynmawr if you want Collin you can follow me up to the site then

[texaspete1973]

No Steve , havent managed and gaps in the clouds so saturday night will be the first hopefully

Brilliant! This is the only convenient day for me for a while so I'll definitely be there and I will bring my solar filter so you can see it.

Hi Ant.,

Glad you can make it to the meet. It will be interesting to see your solar filter.
