Midlands January 2010 Meet.

[Andy2112]

Not sure if anyone is interested in these:

It is the one litre water bottle containing sterile water. I think probably the bottle is more useful than the contents as they are graduated on the back.

I have a few of these I use to carry screen wash, oil and coolant in the car.

Can't see a reason they can't be used as water bottles.

Anyone interested PM me and I will bring them along if you want them with the water in then let me know.

Oh these are gratis but happy to accept a trade of a glow stick if you have a spare one.

Muddy,

if you want a glow stick i'll bring a couple for you. I think i have some left. Might even have a few of the neclace type ones if you want them. Your choice mate.

Thanks fella that's definately worth a pint mate.

Decorum,

will the water tap at the cabin be usuable still or will they turn off the water supply to it for the winter ?

 

[firecrest]

can get time off work, but looks like i might have to get the train down, unless anyone is from the northwest.

As far as I know the tap will be available - wheather the water has frozen in the pipe ...

Failing that, there is the likelyhood that the snow will still be around - it's snowing as I type - for a bit of bushy water collection .


Edit:

I'm on site tomorrow, so I can check. I'll try to get some pics too .

You guys lost me there, you'll have to explain it real slow at the meet so I understand! I watched the John Kettley is a weatherman video on youtube, I'm still confused and have lost 4 minutes of my life?! Am I being thick or just too Canadian?

Dec is alluding to the fact that I seem to always be present when there is 'extreme' weather at meets.

So far my count goes one heavily flooded meet, one subjected to heavy downpours, another one that was pelted with hailstorms and the last one where there was 8" of snow. That's not counting other meets where it was just simply rainy

Looking S/E(ish) into PC11.

Next two shots are of the original communal area - atm the ground is hard enough to use it .

A view of the temp communal area.

Just to show that the snow isn't that deep. (disclaimer - at the moment)

Almost forgot this . Having checked the water supply today - to be on the safe side, it looks likely that water will either need to be brought in or melted on site.
