cosmic dave Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Im thinking of looking into organising an eclipse watch break to view next year's solar eclipse, its next march and would probably be in the north of Scotland but could be abroad depends on the interest really. Oh this is not exclusively an elac thing (not that anything is) all welcome. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 A trip to the Scotland sounds feasible, just have to take a chance with the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic dave Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Sounds like a plan is in the pipeline then? Im not camping tho!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Remember there's no totality in Scotland. (nor Orkney or Shetland. It will be 90 something % though.) For totality you need to go further north.......ie the Faroe islands. If the Faroes are an option i'd love to come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I have family in Forres near Elgin, near 90% totality there, hmmmmm, stick me down as a possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic dave Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's something we need to look into obviously totality is the way to go if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The Faroe Isles are very expensive to get to. You can fly but it costs, or catch a boat from Iceland or Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic dave Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I won't fly so it would be the boat or boats for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Do you realise how far North the Faroe Islands are?? Artic Circle!! Do you mean the Shetland Isles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Do you realise how far North the Faroe Islands are?? Artic Circle!! Do you mean the Shetland Isles? No, Faroe isle is the only land mass for 100% totality.
