Kielder Star Camp 11-15th October

[ScouseSpaceCadet]

I've visited Kielder campsite before but not attended an astro gathering so I'm looking forward to the trip. 

Autumn Astrocamp at Brecon this year was a disappointing washout so here's hoping we have some chilly clear days and nights instead for this one!

Any SGL members going?

Hi, Am going from the Monday to Thursday see you there. Hopefully the weather will be ok, went to Kielder a few years ago and I remember the very dark nights !

Great Noel. I'm camping in a very green tent. Fingers crossed for decent weather. Thanks for replying.

Unfortunately due to staff sickness I have had to work overtime today thus won't be travelling up until tomorrow. ☹️

I've emailed Lynn.

I had to leave a bit early so will meet you at Pex Hill sometime !

I was there last new moon.  Beautiful place and had some great quality time with my daughter but totally clouded out.  How is it tonight?

I didn't arrive until Thurs which turned out to be pleasantly mild but cloudly bar a couple of tantalising five minute spells. Fri and Sat were clear all night. I believe Weds was too.

... and we did... I'd forgotten what it's like to get minimal sleep for several days
