Glad someone got out... You see any early Geminids Matt?

[Sam Baker]

I hope we all get chance to go out over christmas guys. there's so many of you I still haven't met! I'm even ordering my clip in light pollution filter early so the clouds get here and go before xmas!

[mapstar]

I'm going to have to give the Friday outing a miss guys as I'm unfortunately on night's.

On the bright side it will be crystal clear as it always seems to be when I have to work unsociable hours!

I'm also going to miss this fridays geminids meeting.

Not getting back from London till late - last meeting is finishing approx 6pm friday and its at least 4-5 hours at that time of day to get home. properly annoyed as its going to be crystal!

Winscarr has some snow on it as we speak but hopefully it won't be too bad by Friday. Shame so many of you are not around as it could well be an excellent evening

[Astronomer69]

Well the long forecast is showing snow on Friday at winscarr.

[mapstar]

Shame as it could be the first WADAS sledging outing

Feel free to pop along ! You'll be made to feel welcome. I would keep an eye on here and on the WADAS website just to ensure its still on if the forecast looks bad.

Welcome to the thread ddtwelve12 (you didn't add a name) The guys attending will give you a friendly welcome.

Wonder what your new scope is?

On a note of weather forecast its a little iffy for Friday hopefully this wind and rain will have blown itself out?

If anyone is attending hope your taking your snow boots and sledge

[MattGoo]

I'd prioritise thermals, a hat, gloves & a hot drink over a sledge!

Which car park were we aiming for Friday. I was thinking the big one at the end of the three on the hade edge side not dunford as it would accommodate more people if it's a good night.

[mapstar]

I'm on night's so won't be there Soupy.

[Astronomer69]

I'll be there if clear but not looking remotely like it will unless where cloud dodging

[Astronomer69]

Looking good 9pm onwards

[Soupy]

That's if we can get there with the snow predicted

[Soupy]

Shame you'll miss it Damian

[Soupy]

Think I now might miss Friday as Kielder is calling. I'll know tomorrow for def. but not looking promising I'll be there
