With the outlook not so promising, we should all pin our hopes on the unreliability of weather forecasting!

I might bring have to bring some mulling spices. Mulled Herefordshire cider will make everything better.

Got to do a check on the tent and sort the rest of the rubbish out over the weekend... cooking gear is easy wallet and warm clothes for the walk to the cafe....

Anyone into canoeing, the River Wye is right on site and has a good launch point, I'm thinking of bringing our Canadian canoe but would be great if anyone else has a canoe or kayak .

It's been a long time. I used to do a bit of white water paddling in closed deck kayaks but I haven't got any gear these days. Besides I remember how cold rivers feel when they are largely made of melted snow! :eek:

Can't fault this idea at all! I'll meet you at your tent with Jaffa cakes and other goodies! Lol! :grin:

I'm figuring single quilt below, double quilt above, sleeping bag and fleecey liner in between :D

Nice, just can't get along with mummy bags, taken to using a 13.5 tog single duvet snuggling around under it.

Hoping we won't get much night sleep time !

Nick.

I'm hoping for a little bit though, o neighbour of mine ;):) (mental note, earplugs)

Yup - just doing the camping gear check and buys any bits that need it today.. tonight will be cleaning the filter wheel filters as I noted they need it. Charging the battery I use for imaging today and tomorrow..

Then it's making the list of what to take and what to leave behind!

Picked up a fan heater this morning (1/2 price in Sainsbury's) and rewired my imaging loom (ST4 cable had died) astro and camping gear is prepped and ready to sling in the car on Wednesday.

Shopping for essentials tomorrow. Beer and Jaffa cakes mainly ;)

Usually what happens with early arrivers is that one of the mods will hand out the packs once they've setup.

Nick although I won't be staying on site I will be arriving every day from next Monday to deal with any queries (until Daz arrives) that members might have. I know that Photosbykev will also be in attendance from Monday so there will be Mods around every day of the star party.
