Two new Dark Sky Discovery Sites in Norfolk

[baggywrinkle]

The Kings Lynn and District Astronomy Club has been (via its Chairman) heavily involved in getting two new Dark Skies Discovery Sites registered https://www.darkskydiscovery.org.uk/dark-sky-discovery-sites/map.html

These are at Barrow Common and Titchwell RSPB on the North Norfolk cost not far from Hunstanton, both are AONB sites too. There are more registrations due. We might seem a bit of a remote county with funny narrow roads and no motorways...but that has its advantages.

Looks great, are you planning on holding any star parties there, Keling Heath which is great is greatly oversubscibed in the Autumn and pretty impossible to book unless you are prepared to be in the trees or are on site the previous year when the bookings open and you can't book adjacent to friends unless you are there at the same time to book.

It would be great to have an alternative Event.   Or it is not set up for camping?

They are non camping sites, but nearby is the Burnham Deepdale camping and backpackers. 

Kings Lynn & District AS has been doing stargazing outreach their twice a year as an outreach. At their Hygge and at their Music Festival. Both the Discovery sites are within 15 minutes drive. Titchwell has parking and is also a superb RSPB site, we've done outreach their too.
