Keilder in Northumberland is one of the best areas for dark skies and not too far for some of you. Should also be plenty of wild camping spots and very peaceful.

Since first posting on here I've picked up two excellent pairs of Russian-made binoculars for bargain prices at my local auction, because the auctioneers haven't a blind clue about binoculars and let them got for very little. The maker's names vary but they usually have cyrillic text visible on the back, and the following (Komz) logo:
The optical quality leaps out at you as soon as you look through them.
The same will apply to Russian telescopes. Worth keeping an eye out for at Car Boots and in Charity Shops. And auctions round our way
Another handy tip re binoculars - if you see any old German fieldglasses (stamped 'Dienstglas' on the back) and they have the letters 'blc' visible, they're made by Zeiss. The maker's name was coded - something else that's escaped our local auction house.
