Northern lights tonight?

[andygo]

Apparently they might be making a rare appearance in the North West of England tonight. Anyone spotted them yet? Might drive out from Southport if they have been "turned on"...

Cheaper than going to Finland...

Is a Coronation Street actress turning them on?

Gggggrrr. I went to Iceland to see the Northern Lights and to go whale watching. No sign of the lights, and six hours on a boat in choppy seas and not so much as a herring!

The geysers were fantastic though. And the gulfloss falls, and the blue lagoon.

One day I shall do that trip... Can't wait to see the Northern Lights again.

I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights. To imagine seeing them is awe inspiring. I will one day.

I'm in southport and can't see anything

[andygo]

I'm in Southport too. I'm lying on my back and there is no sign of the northern lights. I'll go outside and see if that helps.

Where abouts are you? The sky is pretty clear in hillside where I am but might pop down to the beach at birkdale to see if there is anything

Just got back from whale watching this afternoon. About a mile off the coast of Reykjavik we came across a herd of Humpbacks. Here are some crappy phone pics I shot.
