Ok, so a bunch of lucky gets are going to Callanish for this month's lunar event.

I'm not jealous, oh no. Besides, I'll be in Cornwall again next week.

So, any suggestions for viewing the same event in Cornwall? I'm assuming the skim effect will be the same, assuming I can find a suitable site...

As I wasn't sure what you were on about, here - I did a quick search and found this explaination:

Now, nobody else will have to expose their ignorance, risking derision. What a selfless and honourable act of personal sacrifice, eh?

Just what i was thinking. They say the effect is better the further north you go because the moon is so low to the horizon.... so go south and find yourself somewhere with a high horizon, that'd work wouldn't it? (Like myWaden Hill ruminations).
