Right then folks... That nice Mr Staley sent me a link to this: http://www.hermit.org/Eclipse/2007-03-03/

Turns out this weekend should see a lunar eclipse as well as a rather nice full moon rising at saturday tea-time.

I'm rather gutted my new camera hasn't turned up yet, but we've as yet been unable to pay for it due to time-consuming complications with paypal. At least the seller is being understanding and it should all be sorted out soon. Still, there'll be other times, other moonrises and eclipses to photograph... and I do have a decent digital and a film slr for this weekend anyway.

As for what we're doing, I think we should meet up in The Castle for lunch, around 12, then go from there. After lunch we'll go down to Peak Cavern, then up to Mam Tor to watch the moon come up. Those of you staying for the moonrise would be well advised to wrap up warm!
