A few of us went out to Muirshield country park in Scotland for a dark site location. We were all set up and it was pitch black. One of my friends wanted to point his scope at Orion but it was just hiding behind a tree top. Looking up and cluching a 10" scope and mount he started walking back keeping an eye on the tree top until Orion was above them.
Next thing i heard was AAAAhhhhhh Bas$tard AAAAAhhhhh "HELP THE SCOPE" "THE SCOPE" GET THE SCOPE"


Rushing to our friend’s aid only to find he had stepped back onto a cattle grid and falling over he was about 2 feet shorter than normal but amazingly enough still clutching the scope in one piece.
