Just bring all the equipment that you have bought but not used to date.
That should fill your trailer up!

No no no no, that's NOT what I mean.
If the gear hasn't been used, you'll only be dragging the cloud up behind you.

Yeehah!

Just booked for Mon - Sat.

Really looking forward to catching up with some old friends I haven't seen in a while and also to do some observing (which i haven't done in a while ).

I should be good for some all-nighters too ... after getting back from Senegal on the 9th . I would like to have booked in for the whole event, but I need to see the family and spend some time at home

the count down begins ....
