Caldwell14 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 good, out of interest how do you rate the area for light pollutionNot good at all. I camped up there last year and took an ED100 with me, just why I was shocked with Bolton and Manchester so near was beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfisher Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Not good at all. I camped up there last year and took an ED100 with me, just why I was shocked with Bolton and Manchester so near was beyond me.Im not promising no light pollution, have already said there will be some, but should be better than most of our backyards and is just a social gathering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightfisher Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 I have a small update, just got back from a drive up to where this campsite is, yes there is a slight orange glow, and some lighting from residential trailers on site, so up to you guys if you want to go ahead with this camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 might be better just organising a night at the astronomy centre? if they could agree to maybe a Friday night when the general public are not present and we all joined, perhaps it would be worth their while?

nightfisher Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Could do, only problem with doing a full night away from home is driving back dog tired.................i guess a couple of hours kip in the car is a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshane Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 well I for one appreciate the effort you have made and if it's on I'll hope to attend. if we can get out of direct lights then I am sure the skies will be better than most of our gardens'.

nightfisher Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have spoken with the owners of Moorlands today, very helpful, they tell me the EHU cost is no more than £3 per night but likely to be less, and we can have a quiet part of the campsite well away from the few residential part, where we will have very good vista`s, i am now back on track for this gathering, and looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
