Revival of PSP for 2016.

[cotterless45]

Having sorely missed this autumn's meet , I hope that there will be enough interest to meet up this Autumn. There's little need for organisation, we can chew the fat in the biggest tent there !

I'm sure that plenty folk would be able to share their expertise.

In particular I missed all the meetings of folk on the forum and their stories. It's such a shame to let this go,

Nick.

Just as an aside, I'll be on north Skye ( booked) for the first week in October for some dark sky Dobbing.

I would be up for a PSP Lite in 2016 Nick. Priority for me is finding the best skies within that area, only need basic facilities so no need for huge organisation.

Good idea!

This would be easy to do but i will have no part in any organizing as every star party i sort out is heavy rain

[Skipper Billy]

Where would this event be held ??

Peak Star Party?

Peak Star Party held in the autumn at Shallow Grange campsite , three miles south of Buxton. A great meeting place with often dubious skies, even when clear !

not a bad viewhttps://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.1712477,-1.8448174,3a,75y,160.77h,81.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sW9wI5JJEm55D5WrC8PMMzw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656   the only problem is 5 caravans 10 tents...

[estwing]

a bit more room...like the bit about minimal lighting!https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.1712477,-1.8448174,3a,75y,160.77h,81.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sW9wI5JJEm55D5WrC8PMMzw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

[estwing]

i'll bring the wine again Shane!...where this session took place is 20yrds from the first campsite i posted...

[Moonshane]

One thing to bear In mind is that the site mentioned is adults only although if we took the whole site they might be ok with mini mes

[Uplooker]

I am up for this, dates dependant. I do quite often think about PSP when Autumn comes round. The first PSP was my first ever star party ?

[nightfisher]

I hope this happens and the timing is right as i would like to attend
