Hi Mike,

I agree, we entertained Elizabeth (?) the Dark Sky Ranger, it just shows how the people that organise things are not included in discussions as to the way forward!

People like Lesley and Ralph should be invited because of the efforts they put in. How can this group help the campsite owners.

Maybe we should invite the Dark Sky Group to the Autumn SP to discuss our thoughts on how to progress the issues.

I am looking forward to another Dark Sky bonanza.......at Drumroanin.....

Cheers

Adrian

Hi David,

Trust you are in the best of health.

Will we have the pleasure of your company in November?

Was it Keith Muir (mentioned in the BBC piece) who met us one Saturday lunchtime at the Kirkinner Inn about 7 years ago?

We discussed light pollution, the steps the Forestry Commission was doing in Glen Trool and south west Scotland. Plus setting up plans for other forest areas.

D & G Council are taking great steps to combat light pollution. My local council are trying to tackle the light problems, they have installed LEDs in my road, the lights put more "white" light on the street, but massive reduction in upward light......... great.....

Anyway, I hope to be at Drumroanin in November, as usual pitch 19 for Whiskey, Ouzo ad Jaffa Cakes.

Cheers

Adrian

Well said Stuart,we are definately due some clear skies!!!!!!!!!!!

The firm renovating your suspesion seem to be taking their time,is it in need of new components or are they refurbishing the original?

Your 4 bottle optic sounds interesting,but it will be expensive to replenish.

Lets hope you get a longer on site than last time,you better bring wellies-----just in case :icon_biggrin: just joking.

Looking forward to catching up with you,have you got any photo`s of your conversion,i`d be very interested

Regards

Mike

Hi Everyone.

Looking forward to making the trip to Drumroamin for a second time. Only 4 weeks to go!

Here's the forecast in my area for this weekend over the new moon. Pretty awful and sums up the weather here over the last 12 months or so.

The weather in Galloway WILL be much better than this :icon_biggrin:

Your right, the skies are going to be clear at Dunroamin!

Hope to be able to converse with you a bit more this time, only briefly spoke to you in Mike's caravan last time.
