Really looking forward to this - it will be my first star party where I won't have a walking stick! Great to have a pair of stainless/plastic knees.

Interestingly, they move sooooo smoothly - could be scope (bad pun) for dob users to investigate the materials to smooth the motion???

And the knees are not magnetic. I had thoughts of hanging stuff from them, didn't work, so there goes a party trick.............
Bugger Wren, now nobody can hear you coming

Martin,

I'll take a bunkhouse for all four nights (1 person) please, as well as the feast.

Had a great time last time, am really looking forward to it.

Regards

David

You might catch a snake or crocodile, or even the monster of SV
