    Heart of Wales festers

    Sorry for going a bit off topic, but I'm planning to do the HOWL next week and was wondering if anyone could tell me which side is the best to sit on and things to look out for scenery-wise please? I will be travelling on the 14:35 Swansea - Shrewsbury, also would it be a good idea to reserve seat?

    Chance to see the Northern Lights over the UK tonight (07/10)

    Don't worry, geomagnetic activity is quite high at the moment so there's a chance it'll be visible again in the next two weeks. Couple of pictures attached of last night if anyone is interested.
