too much cloud the whole time   - waste of effort trying imo

looking good. im off out about 8.30 up northumberland coast. need cloud to clear bit more.

that cloud has set in for the year now

northumbria countryside would be a good spot otherwise

aye, it usually is. car parks get busy but thats a combo of doggers and northern light watchers.

two for the price of one 

sky cleared - drove out to the countryside - sky watched for an hour  and .... nitto .

will try again ,but this time from the garden after the street lights go out at 12 .

it's weird how we fail so miserably on every aspect in the southern UK - snow ,cold ,storms ,heat,sun,tornado's,thunder,rain  and also the lights 

the only thing we cop is that useless jet stream

I take it you weren't living in Brighton on the night of 15/16 October 1987, Coachbuster?

A memorable event for us southerners usually starved of extreme events, but once in a lifetime is quite enough, thanks.

oh come on coachbuster, got to enjoy some lovely eye watering cloud of fumes the other day. Truly blessed.

screaming, i actually slept like a log through that storm  - woke up to find a tree had fallen across the street though 

JC - yeah - did see that in the news ... any idea where it came from ?

My friend Rimmer says "Aliens"
Love the idea it's bubbled up from a 100 year old shipwreck though

very poor last night, , went to amble on northumberland coast, cloud never cleared. northern scotland seemed the place and even hen not that good due to cloud.
