The 16th Annual Eccentrics Dinner

This year’s Eccentrics Dinner was held halfway up a hill, just outside the entrance to an old graphite mine – a bit of a climb with our camping gear. It was a small affair this year – just five of us had been able to make it (the biggest one was the 10th dinner where there were 39 people present) but we still attracted surprised stares from the few walkers who passed by. It was a beautiful clear night – as usual I was struck by quite how many stars can be seen when there are no city lights to pollute the sky.
