The "Oktoberfest" Snake Valley Astro Camp Oct 28th to Oct 31st 2016

I'm still in as well. I'm also suffering from a withdrawal of AP. Hopefully the cabins haven't leaked!

Thanks guys
Norm, with power, we have a number of cables and power distribution boxes. It will largely be a case of working it out when up there. There are power outlets available in the quad area.
Pitching tents will be a bit problematic on the main field. Based on Johns notes, it is still quite wet. I will be unable to get to the site until Friday of the camp so I have no better info than you do.

Cheers

Pitching a tent on the observing field side would be a problem.As I said earlier it is a quagmire and with the added rain we are getting at present, I invisage it will only deteriorate further and as it was on Wednesday when I visited, that whole area was really unusable.
The parking area on the other side of the camp would be fine to pitch a tent on, the only problem I see is having enough room for both vehicles and tents.

Hey Malcolm.

Still good for the camp but I will be staying 2 nights instead of the 3 I paid for. My dad will be coming along as well so let me know how much I owe for the difference.

- 2 nights
- bunkhouse
- if you can put us with Denis and Tony Busato that would be good (they are staying the same two nights as us).

Cheers,
Stefan.

Looks like there may actually be clear skies!! Who woulda thunk it!

[pfitzgerald (Paul)]

Don't 'jinx' it Colin - just pretend that you're not looking at the forecast!

Desperately trying not to get too excited myself - but failing miserably - I can't wait until Friday afternoon.

[Atmos (Colin)]

I'll book a hotel over in Gippsland and take the weather over there

[pfitzgerald (Paul)]

Sounds like a plan!

[Atmos (Colin)]

I have a PreciseParts adapter on the way but that probably won't arrive until next week and I won't be doing any shopping (Bintel) until next week

[pfitzgerald (Paul)]

Just as well Colin - otherwise the (see)thing masses at SVAC may have to reconsider the ban on human sacrifices!
