Any galaxy better than Bode's? Any glob better than M13? Any open cluster better than the double and the wild duck?

M51 if it's dark enough and high enough. May be a bit early for the Leo Triplet.

I like M15, M2 and M3 for globs.

The owl cluster. the 37 cluster ( but again, maybe a bit early for orion)

Most of those are pretty easy to find.  Enjoy. 

@Littleguy80 glad you got out and had a good night.  Can't believe no-one mentioned a chair :)

Unfortunately I don't get to spend the night when I am up at Lowestoft, on the days when I did I didn't have a telescope.  I didn't actually realise that the Brecklands had a special dark area site.  Glad you had a great time, you def.  need to get a lightweight folding chair - I bet an adjustable shooting stick would even help.
