northern lights – anyone see them last night & where from.

Looks like it could have been a good show if it was not for 100% cloud cover (atleast here in lancashire).

Who was the most southerly observer I wonder ?

We were out on the moors last night and saw nothing! gutted!

I think the peak was early this morning so you would have to be very keen.

We were hoping to be treated to it out in’t ills last night. But full cloud cover in East Lancs, like you said. We hardly even got the benefit of the full moon.

Bloody good ride anyway though, and disaster averted when we made it up the last climb dangerously close to last orders. Phew! 😀

Nothing.

Saw a badger though 🙂

We could see a glow over Middlesborough from Rosedale Moor ride last night ? Is that the Northern lights 😯

Nothing in north Oxfordshire, but the moon was so bright it would drown out anything else.

We saw nothing of the Northern Lights, sadly, but we did have a glorious view of the full moon rising over Mellor, glowing orange, then a fab view of That Manchester by moonlight, then a lovely view of the barmaids in the local pub

Oh and a badger running around our garden at 5am

What the hell were you doing up at 5am? You been out sheep rustling again?

3 pints. Pissing like a racehorse.

I started following AuroraWatch on Twitter and they had a ‘red alert’ at 6.45 this morning.

saw nowt from the window of the plane i was on but i think i was looking south for most of the journey 😐

A mate flew out to Iceland yesterday morning – happy coincidence on a planned city break type thing. I haven’t spoken to him yet but feel very envious.

In contrast my missus looked through the curtains during an ad break in Location, Location, Location last night, grumbled something that sounded like ‘rubbish’ and put the kettle on. We live in Hampshire, it was cloudy, and the window she looked out of faces South. I give up.

Was out til about 11pm on a night ride.. never saw a thing and the sky was clear.. amazing moon early on though.

Oh (sticks nose in air) how common 😉

Out in Northamptonshire last night. Great moon, loads of rabbits but, sadly, no northern lights.

We could see a glow over Middlesborough

That was probably from the burning cars.

according to this site anywhere north of Kendal might see them tonight. http://helios.swpc.noaa.gov/ovation/Europe.html

i’ll be really pissed off if we see them here, because i just spent a shedload taking the wife to iceland in mid feb and we didn’t see them there 🙁

Nah, too far south, (South Wiltshire), and was in bed at 8 anyway.
