Do we have to sacrifice someone to get the sun to come back? Can I vote for it to be Alec Salmond?

 

[Ogmios]

Oh goodie!

:
just to remind myself.

Funnily enough, my Russian house guests are currently in Iceland studying the local Orca population but I think they get back here just before the eclipse. You could always horse it up here on the Katoom for a night, Andrés.

Dopey fucker....be delighted...weather dependant of course.....

It has all the makings of a perfect Pagan ritual. We could sacrifice a stag clad in a Union Flag. Anyone able to build a quick Wickerman for Bennysdad?

Bugger. Could have used my Yoof hostel card. Ok. Bunkhouse seems ok. Head up on the 19th. Catch the eclipse next early morning?

Sure thing.

Who else?? Lazy Crofter has spaces @ £18? Plan to follow.. guess we could meet up say Granton, or Bruar for coffee, somewhere for lunch(Storehouse?), couple of places to eat in Durness, or take/buy grub to cook for supper & breakfast. See eclipse, burn Nicola effigy, head home via Ullapool?? May find room for bottle of malt for political discussion at night. Bandages in other pannier.

What could go wrong...

This is my thread we only burn nasty right wing imperialists and capitalist running dogs in here.

This is what we should be able to see in Eastern Central Scotland, weather permitting.

Well you would if you could find any oil to light the fires with....but it'll be OK, I expect they could send some up....

Do I get an Ingrid Pitt lookalike to lead me to my fate after dancing naked round a maypole?

 

[gerarddwatts]

Maypole!! Show off....

 

[Packer]

What are the chances of actually being able to see beyond the cloud cover? Prior to the oil fueled Wicker smoke filling the air naturally.

Sounds like a good idea though.

Weeell....the nice wifey in McKays told me this morning it never rains in Durness....she wouldn't lie.......would she??



Mind you, here its gone from a thick frost at 6.30 this am to pissing with rain for the last 4 hours...
