I took the Scouts out on a hike last night and came up over Houndkirk. It's an oportunity to teach them about mapwork etc, plus a bit about the effects of light polution from towns and cities. As we walk towards Houndkirk from Burbage there is normall a huge orange glow but last ight NOTHING!.
The fog which started just east of Houndkirk road was so thick it blotted out all signs of habitation, not even a glow from the street lights - it was like the city had been turned off :shock:.
Oh, and the temperature up there last night was -8 deg C :-.
