All packed for after work tomorrow. Complete luxury this time... thermarest, pillow, stove, hipflask, old man pipe  :D

Remember the clocks are going forward, so even less sleep!
Red Leader - are you heading home for the 6am race coverage or the repeat?  ;)

I'm going full lux too - hammock and proper camera with tripod incase it's clear for some astrophotography in the evening.
We'll be recording the F1 and aiming to be home as early as we can - media blackout all the way of course!

I wasn't going to bother with a firelog and just hope there would be enough dead drop wood about. If you could bring an axe it would be handy, saves some effort in the long run.

Hey i'm going to head down too if ya's don't mind. I recently got a DD Hammock and tarp and a new sleeping bag i'd like to try out. Does anyone fancy doing some bushcrafty stuff? like trying to make a bow drill or something.

Never worry, we'll improvise.

Don't know that we're intending to do anything specifically bushcrafty but we're more than happy to watch you! If you haven't been out before watch for the pirate flag, that'll be us. PM me if you want a mobile number.

I'll head up about 4 or 5 so there's still plenty of sun light to play with.
