Perseid Meteor Shower

Did anyone see it last night?  Did you go out to get a better glimpse?

We decided to drive up to bolton to try and get a better view.

We went up smithills dean road about 11pm and then at the top of there we turned right.  We took the kids with us and my missus said

"Oh theres loads parked up here, loads of people out to see it lets stop here!"

Good job i didnt.  As we was slowing down there was about ten cars with blokes stood outside car windows filming while getting up to no good.

Dogging is strong there (kp) for future reference!

Anyway we ended up going theough belmont village and parking up quite high up, and wow!  We didnt see loads but saw a few and the moon was extremely clear.

I was going to say as soon as i started reading this,watch out for doggers 

jesus norpig.  You should of seen them all.  Scout road chippy used to be a thing you joked about years ago but bloody hell.........

It's been a doggers paradise for years up there now, it's that little track on the right when you've turned right onto Scout Road (or so i've been told  ) i think?

I think there was an article in the BN about this a few weeks ago, a lot of complaints about what goes on, hope KP doesn't get caught by the fuzz up there 

This was very brazen.  Just parked up at the side of the road.  Busy as anything as well

I've never looked at meteor showers, ever since I read The Day of the Triffids
