Hi all

Hopefully getting my van back Wednesday this week. Anyone up for some observing later in the week?

[Rustysplit]

Hi Steve,

I'll be up for it if the weather plays ball. Surely we must get one good night over this new moon????

[swamp thing]

You'd like to think so Alan

Fingers crossed.

[hobsey]

Yep, I am.

Weather wise, friday is looking the best at the moment.

[swamp thing]

If it's clear what are we looking at guys RC or a dark sky trip?

I'm not quite in Surry but Wimbledon is fairly close if you don't mind me keeping an eye on your gathering plans and hopefully joining you for one with my newbie Dob one fine evening?

Oh should also say that I'm keen but I have a new 1 month old baby and one has to show some restraint and tack in requesting LOA to pursue a jolly

Hi from a Leatherhead resident.

What sort of time do you meet on Ranmore if you go as I have 2 little ones to feed/water/read story to before I can get out?

[Rustysplit]

It won't be dark until 10 ish, so you should be fine.

Don't suppose you drive a Landy then Dave?

Do you observe from the car park or the other side of the hedge?

Cool, I have a fwd control 101 ambi.

We set up in the car park as it's easier that way. If it's good and clear on Friday we may well head on down to a dark site further away. If you wanna come along I'll PM you the location?

Looking iffy at the moment for tomorrow, saturday is looking better.

Always wanted a 101 but 2 landies is enough according to the wife.

I cant do Fridays as I partake in my other pass time of putting small holes in paper using high velocity lead

[hobsey]

I like the 101s, just a shame a load of them where ruined to make the yellow armoured things in Judge Dredd.

[Landy Dave]

Have you been to the Dunsfold open day they have every 2 years as they have a couple of the Judge Dredd vehicles, apparently they are so well engineered the only thing stopping them being road legal is something about the doors!

[swamp thing]

Dunsfold land rovers carry quite a lot of 101 spares, so I often use them. They have a lot of interesting motors there like the coil sprung 101 replacement that never was.
