Thanks Graham. So densely populated it can't avoid the light pollution, it's reasonable here but could be better. I think Haverigg prison must have gone for LED floodlights because there doesn't seem as much glare from that quarter now. Sellafield, to the North West is probably the worst offender.

To get really dark skies Kielder is probably our nearest but that's at least 135 miles, each way...

I really want to get up into the North West of Scotland but the weather up there is so unpredictable and it's such a long haul that the chances are slim.

I have just returned from a fruitless outing, the clouds closed in so quickly that I only had a fleeting glance of a clear sky, probably the last chance for a few days.
