Hey guys!

Right. My essays are well done, I've got over my post-exam sickness, I've run out of things to do with my time, and I may be forced to leave the country relatively soon.

So, let's have a meet!

I was thinking Edinburgh, because I'm lazy, it's close to me, and there's a really cool island near by that we can all walk to and be locked in for the night. However, if you guys want to go further North, that would be cool too, but I figure this way people from Northern England can make it.

I was thinking Saturday-Sunday the 5th and 6th, that's next weekend. I'm going to start mass-PMing everyone in the scotland thread, I think. (That's allowed? Right? Ah, screw it. I say yes.)

Amyone have any comments? Suggestions? Whatever?

Anyone coming?

Well, we might be able to change it. But I got a garden party to go to the next weekend.  ::) And I was going to do the cape wrath trail the week after that, I think...

Unil

Sounds cool. :D I'll probably be in Edinburgh that weekend for the pre-Auchinawa meet, but maybe it's better to change it to a later date to give everyone a bit more notice?

Me and C'tri have an all nighter at the laser tag the weekend after that too. :P

Yeah, though practising Na'vi the whole day would help with communication when it comes to tag-teaming everyone else, at night :P

hehe, yes indeed :)

I did some research into the tide times for the weekends proposed.
It looks like for the 12th/13th, high tide is during the afternoon, wheras for this weekend, and a fortnight hence, low tide is during the afternoon. not sure how long a meet is being planned, but if its just an afternoon, then probably a low-tide afternoon.


data taken from http://www.pol.ac.uk/ntslf/tides/?port=0034.
When we choose a date, I can walk down the beach (its only a mile and a half away, easy walking), and check the actual safe times =]

so, a couple of hours later, I got bored and decided to go down and get definitive times :p

for a complete listing of the tide times for most of june, click here.

Below are the days + times the tide is out during the afternoon of a weekend.

begins

ends
Saturday 5th 12:57 16:57
Sunday 6th 14:10 18:10
Saturday 19th 12:57 16:57
Sunday 20th 14:02 18:02
so we'd have around 4 hours maximum on the island, unless plans are to stay during the high tide

Well, I was thinking we could stay the night.

Hmm...maybe we should set a different date, then? Since very few can make it.

C'tri Atan'itan

ooh, that'd be quite awesome indeed :D
A different date would be convenient for me, and from a few others it would seem too.

If its an overnight gig, that strikes the 12th/13th from my available days too, but i'd still very much like to come, if a future date is decided :)

[[also: the health and safety part of my mind is obligated to point out the "Spending a night on an island with people you've met on the internet" factor; It's not a problem for me, been there done that, but some people might be less than enthusiastic xD.
Just putting that out there :)]]

I'm sure that I could make it but I don't think that another date would conflict with anything either, I'm happy to go this weekend or whenever ^_^

Right. So, let's reschedule, as only a few people can make it.

How does next weekend look? Or the weekend after?

C'tri Atan'itan

next weekend 12/13th is a no no for me and Unil'ite, weekend after I know I'm free, and I'll check her availability with her in the morning
