Ewan .... the lights have been quiet for a couple of years (still see then every now and then faintly) .... but we have had times when the sunspot cycle is near max when we've had some great displays .... things are on the up during the next few years so hoping to see some decent events ..... light pollution is a problem everywhere .... idiots wanting to light their houses like Blackpool Illuminations buying massively bright LED lights are a curse (why they move to the country if they're scared of the dark is beyond me) .... not to mention farmers and businesses with a floodlight obsession! .... still pretty dark out here though.
