catman161 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So, currently Friday is looking clear around the east midlands. Anybody planning on going to either of the dark sites? If not I can at least, at last get the scope outside and have a nice long look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkil8r Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just been up to Ilkeston, There is no way I would bother with either dark site tonight. Belper will be a marsh, Sawley will be flooded on approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
