Tonight’s the night, I’ve persuaded my lovely husband and he said YES!

We’re going to have supper watch an episode of “Rough Diamonds” then set off to try and see the Northern Lights.
Anyone else doing the same?
I will let you know if it was a success.

Sounds fabulous !! We live in the South East in a very built up area, sometimes cannot even see stars 😢😢 Let us know how it all goes and good luck 😊😊

It is a fantastic experience to see the Aurora Borealis, hope you saw it.

Sitting in a lay-by on the Yorkshire Wilds, a little concerned someone thinks we’re lonely doggers😬.
No lights yet

A likely story Sago 😄

I will if we get anything, but I think we'll be very lucky! It's turned to hail now.

Don't believe everything you hear about the lakes. I live only miles from Shap and have never seen them!!!
I hope your journey was not too much of a letdown.

Thanks. I saw a photo of the lights over Shap, and they looked amazing. I don't know if you need to look in a particular direction to see them, as the friend who saw them over my house said they were vivid, but other friends who live nearby didn't see a thing, despite having seemingly perfect vantage points.

The journey's not a letdown, though. I'm having a few days of peace on my own, then my husband will join me at the weekend.

We hear reports sit up late looking towards Shap and see nothing. Last August we did see for about two hours lots of shooting stars. The next morning DD inflated the bubble by saying we had all had too much pop. Enjoy your stay I hope you are getting good weather now and the sleet has cleared.

I hope I’m not the only one whose first thought on seeing the OP’s title, was Victoria Wood’s ‘Let’s Do It!’ song. 😂
