I've neglected to phone the star, I'll do so tomorrow and if they are willing, I'll kip in the car park and partake in a beer and some grub

Re: Dam Busters.
As of last night they still had one room available - I'd left it a bit late and managed to get one.
We'll see folk there next Friday

Re: Dam Busters.
Getting my excuse in early...
Had a really bad back for the last 5 days, Saturday is only 5 more days away.
I'll be at the event and I'll try to get at least 1 grid ref (for a change) but my mileage will not be anywhere as much as normal.
I don't want to be 30 miles from base with 2 or 3 hills to cross and my back goes again.
I'm still looking forward to it, I may have to take 2 air mattresses to sleep on though.
See you in The Star Inn from around 9pm on Friday evening

Re: Dam Busters.
Just packing a few bits and bobs. Has anyone seen where my down balaclava is please? I put it out to air on the dead tree that sits on our top landing but it's gone.
Thanks, 'Reg'

Re: Dam Busters.
I'm told there's three rooms still available at The Star on Friday night if anyone fancies some comfort.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Anyone seen a dry one?

Shame, John - it would have been rather entertaining for the rest of us - albeit only for a few, short, quite startling secondsJohnClimber wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 9:24 pmBugger that means the pack raft won't be coming out to play![]()

Re: Dam Busters.
Thinking about it, "on the table" might BE one of the options
. Or under it.

Re: Dam Busters.
Just made a minor adjustment to weekend equipment in the light of ongoing reports.
Now taking a marquee with large iron pegs instead of a small tarp.
