This pic only just become visible, That's a common sight in Carnforth, every time there's a bit of a storm it floods, my ex-motherinlaw lives but a stones throw from the station, her cellar regularly floods when the Lancaster canal overflows.

Apparently some of the problems in Lancaster were caused by the canal banks being breached by overflowing water. Lancaster canal it somewhat unusual in that from Preston to Tuitfields, just North of Carnforth, it's a single level, no locks for 41 miles, apparently the longest stretch of level canal in the UK, except to access the sea via Glasson Dock.

This means there is a copious supply of water to sustain a breach, because there are no locks, the whole canal could be drained from one breach.

If things go according to plan (they seldom do!) I will be visiting Kielder on Monday night and Tuesday. The forecast is currently showing clear skies Monday and Tuesday nights so we may get some opportunity to take some 'dark sky' photo's. The Moon sets around midnight so after that the skies should be pretty dark.

We will see, if snow doesn't spoil the party. It the least we should benefit from the reconnoiter and be better placed to visit again in the future and go straight to suitable sites rather than having to start from scratch. Google earth being our friend here.
