Bringing the PK1 is no problem, being 100% sure I can make it is more of a problem!

I have some stuff going on at the moment but I'll be there if I can :)

Request from Blue Led to add him to the list as well - he's having a problem posting but would like to come.

I'm not even sure what a PK 1 is, but I'd like to see it.

If Orb comes I'd really like to see his proto MiL and the Wee with VBC. Makes me wish that I had a few impressive home mods to bring. But I suppose I'll be bringing my usual mixture of lights old and new, modded and stock.

But bearing in mind the walk - maybe I'll lay off bringing the heaviest lights!
Gloves and a scarf may be a necessity though.

Which lights will everyone be bringing?

That's a good question, I don't have anything super special to bring to the party, so I'll bring my modded vintage miners torches as a don't think anyone else has any like it......... And maybe something that glows in the dark, and maybe some paracord bits and bobs. :D

Oooooooo if Rob comes along I think I'll try and bring some cash!

I've just realised I've got to work that night after all. :sigh: Wouldn't be able to make it along to the heath until a bit past 11 at the earliest. Hopefully I'll be able to make a meeting at a later date.

Essexman just pointed me at this thread. (Thanks Mate!)

Sounds fun, so I'm in (fingers crossed):)

I'll bring my Malkoff MD4 body / MD2 head / M60 M-CE dropin setup, ThruNite Catapult and depending on if I give in to temptation (and stock availability) something new and VERY bright :D

You say something new and bright? But you've already got the Catapault!

I think at this stage my only option is to go for vintage and retro!

Bring it on!!!

I'm thinking the O-Light SR90 "Intimidator"... (if Antony at Flashaholics has them in stock by the time of the meetup).

Although I'm waiting for the first reviews before I go for it - slightly concerned about (a) heat and (b) beam tint (it looks REALLY blue :green: from some of olight's publicity pics)

If only my 35W HID conversion wasn't deceased at the moment - I'd bring that too!! (although with camera and tripod I think the Malkoff and Thrunite will probably be enough to carry!:crackup:)

The Mrs has said she's coming too, so if the list could be ammended to TallNHairyDave +1 that would be cool ta! :) (For those here who are also on BB she's ShortNCuddlyAm over there - don't think she's on CPF).

Whoa, that looks fabulous! Hope Anthony gets them in time. He should come along too! Nice chap and very good to deal with.

I think the Vintage idea should be renamed dim!!

Going to need dark glasses...

BTW - what's BB?

Nyctophiliac - we can compare dim lights, apart from my modded vintage lights which have Cree XRE LEDs in them.

Like essexman said, BB = Britishblades.com

A really nice forum for knife makers, knife collectors and a bit of bushcrafting. Also has a thriving small community of jamies who natter about torches and confuse everyone else ;)

And yeah, lots of lovely stuff to buy over there too!

Essexman - modded vintage lights with XREs in? OOOOH can't wait to see them :)
