Setting up in the dark is an art, but the basics are fairly easy, as long as you have a head torch and dont rush it. Anyway theres nothing stopping you biving under the parachute the first night, apart from not getting to sleep for a while cause of us lot :eek: talking to the sma hours.

Sounds like Scott's coming along too.

I've fished out some old staves and off-cuts for burning. There's a couple of short yew logs that may be suitable for handle material or the likes. Anyone interested should get them quick before they go on the fire.

I've bought a scythian horse bow, and about 1,000 arrows :eek: , but its not being posted till after the 15th weekend :( typical eh ! anyway I remembered I have a .22 springer so I'll bring that along.

Does everyone know this weekend will be the best time to see the Leonid meteors ? actually its the 17th Monday morning but we should (hopefully) see something.

Aw, my poor aching arrows. Remind me this time to put the wee target behind the big one to catch fliers. :)
Yeah, we should fit in a plinking session. It's easy enough when the archers are are up the bank to do both at once.

The 'chute has a little mesh skirt 8" wide or so round the edge. It's:
A: cute
B: will perhaps let a breeze through when the sides are up.
C: will perhaps be a pain.
Matters not really, we can trim them off in-situ.
Anyone have a bracenbit?
...for whittling up a bunch of toggles.

Setting up the chute should be an interesting experience, if nothing else, brace n bit for toggles ?, surely thats whats a knife is for ?

This should be a fun and interesting spectacle, more fun, I've taken the friday off, so will arrive (I hope early) and not to pinch my,, eh the trippy clan non-flat area, :D I think bringing the car increases the options so I'll bring a few set-ups to play with, depends what the weather is like to what I'll actually use.

I'm REALLY looking forward to this, work has been a total bitch lately so a chill out weekend is deffinatley called for.

I got my new Lofty Wiseman DVD in this morning and just wondering if there was some way of using my laptop & projector to show it on a wall or some surface for everybody to watch, mind you I need to check that it's up to expectations first. Do you have anywhere that might be suitable Dave, preferably undercover as laptops & projectors don't like it outdoors. What's peoples thoughts on this, if it can be done, any interest?

Sniper:

the next issue would be power for the projector. You could maybe project onto the rocks that the burn cuts through. All comes down to the brightness and contrast ratio. Indoors is the best and safest option.

If i could i would bring the 30 000 lumen projector i have just loaded into the van :)

I have an entertaining contribution if we're talking movie night in the barn. The recent posts about Glen Dochart reminded me of it.

...can almost hear Doc cringing from eighty-odd miles away. :D
