Bretti September

[Rick Petrie]

Just putting out for any takers for a few days at Bretti.
New moon is Monday 10th.
I can only do weekdays from Tuesday 4th to Friday 7th as I have a 21st on the New Moon weekend. Weekend would have been better, but I guess more crowded also.
Moon won't be up till early morning so these days would still be OK.
How is everyone's thoughts?
Weather permitting of course?

Thanks Rick.
I have marked it on my calendar, and will watch this thread with interest.
Of course, people don't all have to commit to the same spread of days.
For those working, coming up later in the week and staying for the weekend is always a good option. With people coming and going as suits their need.
Needless to say, anyone and everyone is welcome.
For those not familiar, Bretti Reserve is a free camping reserve, 32km north of Gloucester. No permanent lights. Plenty of space. Good dark skies. and not much else.
Friendly, Informal, Relaxed.

I'm cautiously interested. My latest container of stock will have been unloaded into the warehouse, so I should be able to get a couple of days away.

Allan, you forgot to add that with all of the attributes you listed, it is likely to be cooooold still!

Well, I didn't want to scare off any potential customers.
But yes.
Long range forecast indicates it may get down to 1 or 2 degrees overnight.
Bring warm clothes.
Hot water bottles.

Sounds good - finally going to make my return to DS nights after years away, and now will get serious about dusting off the equipment and checking focus etc. Not sure which days yet but will definitely be there. Watching with interest. Thanks all for the posts.

Great.
Hope to see you there Wayne.

BTW: your signature reminds me …

There is a golf course in Gloucester, that is sadly underutilised (as I recall).
… not that much to do at camp during the days.

So I am suggesting we all take our golf gear.

[Shano592 (Shane)]

The days are for sleeping, if I'm not mistaken....

[harwayharry (Wayne)]

Thanks for the idea - had to give the game up two years ago because of back problems but could come out of retirement for one game I guess (and if I can fit in clubs with the rest of my gear). Talk again closer to the time.

Very interested.
Need to arrange a few things but hope to make it.

[Allan_L (Allan)]

Unfortunately, the CFN (and others) forecast for next week is not promising.
...just saying ...
but will continue to monitor.

I laugh everytime I read that line.
I may have to adopt it, if that's OK

[Shano592 (Shane)]

It allows me to be happily non-committal, until the very last minute!

And the CFN data is why...

Go for your life!

Geoff,
You really need to plan your doctors appointments better.
I refuse to book anything the week before or after New Moon.
The trick is to remember to carry a lunar calendar around with you for reference.
But that's just me. Probably a little too intense. and OCD.

However, it seems that no one is going this time anyway (if weather persists).
Joanne is disappointed (that I am not going away for a week)

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

i had kept week free Al
was sorting the van out in preparation to go
then a full body scan with my new doctor put the kybosh on it all
found a couple of nasties on my right arm that needed urgent attention
wants to see me tuesday to inspect and redress the incisions
trip to coffs was a surprise too
surely we will get to go away soon!

Sorry to hear of your ongoing health issues Geoff. Nothing is more important.

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

yes your right Glen
but at our age it seems to be a never ending battle

[RB (Andrew)]

Hope all is well Geoff.
Take care buddy.

Catch up with you at the PC next time.

RB

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

thanks RB

making good progress - only a matter of time now till we get the right answer as to what is causing what ails me
