GordonG 23 May 9:12am, 23 May 2022 9079 posts	0 GordonG i was recently on a holiday in Albania and really hoping to see some dark skies. But on the two nights we were far from city lights it was cloudy, which was a real shame. but last weekend I was camping near Eastbourne and the number of stars you could see at night - compared to the outskirts of London - was amazing. I always hate having to get up and go to the loo in the middle of the night when camping, but the reward of the sky view made it worthwhile!
