Sounds brilliant, good on you Mexicola for organising this.

You know I'm more watmm than twoism so this passed me by, either way I work for Royal Mail and getting time off on Saturdays for me is almost mission impossible, so I could never guarantee my appearance.

Like I said it sounds awesome. Just hope the weather is good for you.

OK, so I think I'll have to draw a line in the sand at this point, albeit with a heavy heart.

I already have more people coming than I'd intended and with every extra person, the likelihood of us getting turfed off site at silly o'clock in the morning grows. This was only ever intended as a small, quiet gathering. Lake Dolores this ain't :wink:

No offence intended to anyone left out this time but unless we have dropouts, I'll have to close the door for now. Nothing personal I assure you - but as I have some people travelling - frankly - silly distances to be there, it's only fair that I give them the best possible chance of doing this 'right' rather than ending up bailing out and spending the night slumming it in my car / back garden / shed / greenhouse.

If anyone else wants to go onto the reserve list (I'm sure we'll probably have some drop out) then by all means PM me and I'll keep you in mind.

Apologies.

This with knobs on. Absolutely amazing night, and to top it all off we slept under the Milky Way and woke up to this.

Likewise here.

Was an excellent evening enhanced by the stunning weather. Sadly coming home to a screaming toddler wasn't quite what I had in mind, but hey, still worth it.

Was a privilege guys, thank you all, especially John for organizing.

What a night!

I'll post something more comprehensive later, but suffice to say I've just had a 3 hour 'snooze' to try and catch up. Can't stop grinning like an idiot :lol:

Seriously, this has to become a regular thing.

Again, what a night. Thanks to EVERYONE who made it along, you beautiful people 8)

3 hour snooze, ya lucky git. I managed about 45 mins and am currently counting down the hours til monkey-toddler goes to bed. I currently possess mushy-brain. Bah.

Terrific night though. All too short.

It's SO on for next year man! Hopefully we'll widen this up to around 20(ish) people next time.

My word I'm dog-tired today though. If I'm still awake in an hours time, I'll be amazed :shock:
