Aurora Borealis Spotting

Friends who live on Orkney, overlooking Scapa Flow see them often. Unpolluted skies must help.

The next few days are going to be a good time to spot the Aurora from many parts of the UK, according to reports, so if you've got clear skies then it's worth having a look.

Next time you get a "red Alert" have a drive over to the hills between Skipton and Grassington. Just get away from the West Yorkshire lights illuminating the Southern sky and look towards the North.

Regular sightings here and you won't be alone. Quite a crowd of regulars at Red Alert times. Of course no guarantees.
