I should have brought more food. Half way there and I've finished my last Mars bar, I fear I may have to go hunt sustenance on the train!
 
My cosy 15 minutes connection at York is rapidly dwindling, now a slightly nervy 9 minutes and I'm not at the same platform...

Did this change, Rob? Anyway, if you do manage to come, any chance you could bring that packet of Dufaycolors you scanned for me? Thanks.

I don't think I'll be making it over Chris, I can post them to you, or wait for another film meet?
 
Togs Taxis are waiting in the station carpark. Get a move on I'm gagging for a pint.
 
Hi Guys.

If someone at the chapel reads this,I have left my espresso coffee maker in the kitchen, would you please ask Asha to take it on to the IOM and send it to me.

Many thanks,

Richard.

I have sent a PM to Nick as well.

Nice to see ya all..and a great laugh erm I think it was as I didn't hear about 80% of funnies and conversations o_O:D ...I think I start using my under a fiver Chinese hearing aid where you can whack up the vol. :cool:
....couldn't sleep properly and when I woke up the 2nd time at 4:00 thought I might as well head for London to miss the expected rain, which I did. (y)
Well I took 61/35mm shots and 15\120 and not one digi......anyone beat that.....
 
In an unusual attack of competence my used roll is in an envelope addressed to film dev and it actually might get posted today! Currently cursing royal mails large letter sizes as this tiny packet is a small parcel. Grr.
 
Glad you got back to London safely Brian without getting your goggles wet. Hope you got your route from Doogle Maps ok ;0)

That's a good tally with your film, I've just packed up 4 rolls of 120 and 1 of 35mm to go to FilmDev today. I've got a roll of 35mm E6 at home that will need to go to Peak and the roll of JCH Streetpan on my XA4 to finish before developing that myself. Along with my digital shots (sorry!) I'm looking forward to the results.
 
Glad you made it home ok Brian :)

Bloody brilliantly to see you all again and meet some new people as well, we both had a fantastic time. Thanks again to the snaps for organising another brilliant weekend and really looking forward to the next one! ...with some day meets in between as well :D

Just sat in a service station on the m42 ATM, so will ping again when back. :)
 
Back home just long enough to get the coffee on. Fantastic meet as usual, many many thanks to @Mrs Snap and @Andysnap (well, Janet, really) for organising it and to everyone else for all the laughs.

I've got 3 rolls of C41 for Filmdev and a roll of Acros (my first ever!!!) to process myself, plus around 50 shots on rolls still in cameras waiting to be finished...
 
Glad you didn't get wet @excalibur2 ! :)

What a totally awesome weekend. For those I hadn't met before it was great to meet you, and for everyone else it was good seeing you again. Thanks very much to @Andysnap and @Mrs Snap for organizing it all, you did a spiffing job.

Took me a little over 4 hours to get home which is good, and even better, the van didn't miss a beat on the way up or back. 420 miles with no problems at all! :D

In total I shot 1 roll of Pan F in 120, 1 roll of Ektar in 120, 6 frames of 4x5 Delta 100, and 5 frames of 4x5 Provia 100F. Think that makes a total of 31 photos! I've just developed all the black and white film and it's hanging up to dry in the bathroom as I type!
 
Anyone a lorry driver? As at least three lorries tooted while passing me on the M1 some put their full headlights on behind me .....I was keeping close to the solid white line and doing 50 mph and my rear light was working. I reckon they were pi***d off having to pull out in the next lane to overtake....all scary on a small motorbike. :eek:
 
Fantastic weekend and good to see you / meet you all. Same again next year?

The power socket on my train from Crew was faulty so I was without power all the way up, had to make conversations with strangers.

I shot about 4 rolls of fp4, a half roll of Apx 25 and a roll through the XA. I need to shoot another roll to test my chemicals though I am tempted just to farm it out on this occasion, although I'll probably never get back into it if I do...

Any way now for some heavy metal.

We've both finally made it home and I believe that Asha is currently somewhere in the middle of the Irish Sea :D

We had a fab time. Was great to catch up with some of you and meet the rest. Thank you all for making it such a great weekend.

Looking forward to the next one (and I'm not organising it!!) ;)

I'm sure we can rely on @Andysnap do sort it himself next time. :)
 
TBH depending on how folk feel about coming north I don't mind organising next year, I realise it would be harder for everyone to get here but I don't really know the middle earth grounds so well.

To be fair to everyone it can't be just way up north or way down south, unless meets are split i.e. north and south. The border of Wales (North?) and England should be interesting. For you guys in the midlands you have a very good choice midway from say the border of Scotland with all the Yorkshire dales etc.

Totally agree but I'd personally not be comfortable organising a meet in Yorkshire, for example, as I don't know the area well and would end up mucking it up whilst I reckon I could sort out a weekend in the borders with only a few issues.
 
TBH, Edinburgh and Glasgow are very easy to get to, just not from the Peak District!
 
There's always somewhere like north Norfolk coast or Lincolnshire coast. Don't know either but it's central ish.
