Daytime walking in the beautiful White Peak located near the fabulous Lathkill Dale. In the evening take an opportunity to see the night sky in all its spendour in a dark loaction, with no light polution. Your guide to the heavens with be Dr Ken Elliott, retired professional astronomer and ODL member for 10 years.
Portable telescopes and binoculars with be available, but if you have your own scope, do bring it along.
If its clear we should be able to see the Moon, Saturn, Uranus and maybe Neptue as well as stars and galaxies.
Most of our weekend events take place in hostels, many of which have become rather smart in recent years. However, the Reckoning House retains a basic "camping barn" feel, with simple accomodation in the centre of the Peak District. Join us in this great location for a weekend of walking 3 miles from Bakewell, with the Limestone Way and Lathkill Dale nearby.
