Turn Right BEFORE Clock Tower roundabout signposted Gibralter Point Nature Reserve. Follow this road to its end, 4-5 miles, (golf course on left) to arrive at Gib. Point car Park.

I notice it is not too far from EMS1 at Anderby Creek, I also can't beleive how close to Skegness it is and still dark!!

Even though I'm familiar with the area I was quite surprised that unless there is cloud, you can't see any light pollution from Skeg.

The site at Anderby for EMS1 should be even better :)

Ems1 site is better, it was pitch black when I did a night visit there,

The sky at Gibraltar point is great, really dark, so will be interesting to see how dark it can get at EMS1.

I would say on a par, problem is there are no trees ! So any light travels.
