Envious of tonight's trip out guys

Recently having moved to bishops stortford, would be good to meet up with folk based towards the NW side of essex, if there's anyone up that way seeking darkskies. Looking at light pollution maps, there is a horseshoe band of darker skies to the south of haverill I'd be keen to explore

Clear skies!

I have permission to use a pretty good dark site near Ugley Green - probably as good as the site we was at last night except for more passing traffic. Surprising how dark it is considering its proximity to the airport.

Thanks for the responses guys, sounds good re ugely green, wld be keen to try that out Simms. Guess its similar (maybe better) to Hatfield forest carpark, which shld be reasonably dark locally but is close to stansted so there'll be glow from that. The darker area south of Haverill will be worth exploring in the future if we can find suitable ground
