The Model appears to be "Precision"

Doesn't seem to have a model number on it... jut says.

20 x 80
195ft at 1000yds
65M at 1000M
BAK-4 Prisms

I have to go out now but will post up a photo of it later

[edit] .... the Binoculars look almost identical to this one.

Played around with it again tonight ... no luck. I have a smaller pair and will bring those.

Steve

G'day Ryan,

I think there may be some spare bunks still, but it maybe a good idea to bring an air mat or similar just in case.

Only 4 sleeps to go and then were off.

Looks like about 10 coming in all.

Just to clarify costs.

$100.00 for the house for the weekend ....divided by all comers.

Plus $3 per head per night.

I have to pay the caravn park at Lostock, so if everyone could have their fees ready for me, I would appreciate it very much.

Average amount $17-19 per person....

Hopefully this good weather will hold out and we will have a ball.

Bring the " woolies " as the weather looks like getting cold.

I hope there is wood there for the internal fireplace too.
Maybe if anyone has wood, they coulod bring some just in case.

Yes 3 sleeps to go....

Hi, Does anyone have Geoff Filters phone number to call him ?

And also Deeno's as well ?

It would be good if they could come along as well.

Beware of Alans Shortcuts....they go via Galston Gorge and WINDSOR

Boy! One tiny slip up and you're dead meat around here.
...and they never let you forget it.

At least my friend Mr Owl hasn't put the boot in........(yet)

We had a good time, didn't we?
