Good Luck, Kev. I will be up into the early hours, myself, but I don't hold out much hope with this weather. I will probably have to content myself with the tail end of it in a couple of days. This seems to happen every year!
cheers

I will be up for it too. Which hill do you go up Kev?

[Kev Lewis]

I'm thinking Cleeve Hill east of Cheltenham, far enough away from the light pollution and a good view NE. Need to brush up on my sky photography technique. 28mm lens iso 400, 10 minute exposure . May even get to see some badgers

I think I'll be safe enough *chuckle*

I know Cleeve Hill well as I have lived in Winchcombe and Pittville. Good choice

Small world. I first lived in Bredon, then moved to Winchcome, Pittville, London Road then Charlton Kings. I have actually had more addresses than my age. Bit of a gypo
