Astronomy for Beginners at Hardraw 2010
Written by B J Weatherilt   
Tuesday, 09 February 2010

A report from a new member attending Hardraw for the first time:

As a newcomer, I had no idea what to expect. As it turned out, this was a most enjoyable experience.

The group is based at Harris House in Hardraw, North Yorkshire, where the skies are dark and great for observing.

Accommodation can be at the school or a nearby pub, the Green Dragon. Meals depend on the day. Friday evening at the chip shop in Hawes. Breakfast DIY at the school (or the pub). Saturday lunch anywhere in Hawes. Saturday dinner at the school.

I would recommend this trip to anyone. You see a delightful area of England, breathe real fresh air, hardly any road noise [a Citreon CV2 convention, notwithstanding] and, when the weather is kind, an excellent location for observing and make lots of new friends.
