Ken,

just read the note about caravans

My big van is going to be pretty hard to manouvre into the courtyard.

Assuming that there is no chance of putting it in the usual spot next to the Rec Hall, then only likely spot will be out the front, but I can't say I recall that area well for placing a van.

We'll be there about 5pm Friday so we'll see what we have to deal with then.

Here is the latest weather forecast.

Looking good except for Sunday, but who knows, it could clear up Sunday night
It's happened before.

I remember about 2 camps back, when a lot of people left on the Sunday coz the weather turned to crap, and then just after sunset it all cleared up to be the best night of the whole Camp, so anything is possible

Might need advice on washing a few inches of mud off a mirror, after I get it excavated

No Go

Sorry all, we have had an emergency at work and I have to go in this weekend. My off-sider has pulled the Doctors Certificate card for a flu and I can't get any fill-in guys this weekend at short notice.

Have a great time and put me in for the next camp. The weather was looking promising for Friday & Saturday in particular which makes this a hard result for me (also all the packing I had done this week as well) - I guess that is the con for not being an employee who puts in leave requests.

Change it to a maybe, I am going to work tomorrow fully loaded with my gear. If this replacement drive card that is being sent comes before lunch and goes in with no dramas I will still be there.

If it doesn't work, i have to spend all weekend changing a stupid drive panel over.

No wurries Jen, you're the first to show interest so you can check it out when you arrive.
Just the EQ5 head, no tripod etc.

All packed, ready to go in the morning!

See you there!

Chris
