| In response to a PM, I'll bump the thread and include most of the info in this post.
A number of us are meeting at Vobster this Saturday 26 April. I suggest we aim to get there for when it opens - ie for 8.30 (if you haven't pre-booked parking it may be worth getting in the queue a little beforehand to secure a space in the bottom car park).
In addition to jumping in the water and practising survey technique it will also be a good chance to think about what we want to achieve over the four days in the summer.
As my original list wasn't edited, I'm assuming the following are coming:
1. David Martin
2. Joe Hesketh
3. Andy Kerslake
4. Marcus Newbold
5. Clare Gledhil
6. Al Pooley
7. Rob Legg (if in the UK - however, I'm assuming you're abroad)
8. Osama Gobarra (if in the UK - again, I'm assuming you're abroad)
9.
10
If anyone else is coming (Bob I don't think you said one way or the other) do let me know - if you could let me know in advance, it would help planning, but we can probably adapt if people show up.
I have bought three hiking compasses, but haven't drilled any holes for pencils - we should be able to see what works with tape/cable ties. I'll also bring a reel with knotted line, tape measures, copies of last summer's sketch map and scale map of the lines.
Al has volunteered to bring some pre-printed survey sheets, but it would be sensible if everyone can bring wetnotes and pencils (I'm sure you would anyway).
Andy - can you bring your bag of line arrows?
Rob - if you're coming let me know and I'll bring the hoodie/sweatshirt left on Lamlash last summer we're assuming must be yours.
See you on Saturday
