oldfruit Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 What a great site it is too. Clear horizons almost all around and the skies are absolutely breath taking. I spent 2 nights there last weekend and I was amazed at the Milyway and the skies in general. Thanks Paul. Looking forward to more visits to our new dark site.

tbird Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) The site is opposite the car parks for Red Hill nature reserve, Badger Farm, Asterby, Louth, Lincolnshire LN11 9UF. Do not follow sat nav directions to the postcode, you end up a mile down the road, instead look for the brown nature reserve signs. Directions here : http://thebasketcase.info/location.php Edited August 15, 2013 by tbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawson Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Sorry, missed that bit, was watching masterchef at the same time; i'm not good at mulit-media multi-tasking Is it a venue one could just turn up to for observing, or does it need booking? Is it clear where one goes to observe? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldfruit Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I assume that the meets still go ahead when its cloudy.. Yes they do Col, i think it has only been cancelled once due to really heavy rain. Also now we have moved to Badger Farm we have somewhere to shelter if the weather is poor and can still chat and have a brew. Even do some astro imaging talks etc if we take along a laptop etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
