Heat plumes from hot tents disrupting the seeing will make you quite unpopular Good point although as i expect to be one of the last to bed it wont be switched on until then. My radiator will be kept in the confined on the bedroom section, should keep all the heat in nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddoss Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I must remember to bring my fan heater and have a nice collection of them. This is because on a number of occasions I have arrived at a star party and realised I have left the heater at home and have had to go to the nearest town (Usually Hereford, Brecon or Sheringham) to buy yet another.

Mark at Beaufort Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Visited Lucksall this morning at the request of Grant to finalise using the cafe for talks and the suitability of the TV for laptop connection. Everything okay and the site looks fantastic as usual. The cafe really has a great menu so I sure you won't go hungry. Lots of beer/cider just in case you fancy a drink The staff are looking forward to seeing us next week. Let us hope for dry and clear weather.

rockystar Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 does anyone know if Lucksall sell camping gas? My bottle is a bit low, but don't think I'll use much, so don't want the expense now, if I don't need to, but this is easier if there is an onsite option should I need it.

Mark at Beaufort Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I would have thought that they would. However, there is a calor gas dealer in Hereford if you need that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomberbaz Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Ok having checked the saturday weather it is looking pretty grim by forcast. So I am sorry to say going to cry off. Much as i would love to meet you guys but what with friday already gone, I cannot see me driving all the way down there to sit under clouds. On the plus side for you that are still going, there is now a saturday hog roast going free in addition to the friday curry, first come anybody just shout up and its yours.

Ignore it, I had 3 different sources the other night say 100% visibility, 0% cloud all night. Guess what? 100% cloud all night!

DaveS Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Worrying myself sleepless over this.....dur.... Not just my first SGL but my first real camping trip, not counting a CCF bivvy in the Brecon Beacons, too many decades ago. I *think* I've got everything but I know I will have forgotten something vital, and no matter what I do I'll be frozen. Dreamt last night that I'd arrived having leaft all the important stuff at home, 3 hours away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockystar Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Quote I've just been in garage sorting stuff out, checking and double checking that I have everything - not been camping for about 7 years! Hopefully i'll remember everything, but there's always something left behind. just hope it isn't important... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
