DARK SKIES

‘Incredible event – stargazing in Osmotherley. This was our first time. Morgan was a great, knowledgeable guide. We walked up the hill in the dark with head torches and maps, sat and listened to nature in the dark. The clouds parted and we saw some gorgeous stars. We sat, ate flap Jack’s and supped hot blackcurrant. What more could a girl ask for on her birthday. Highly recommend!’

As the moon orbits the Earth it wanes from a full moon down to a New Moon– for one night (or day) each month there is no moon apart from a tiny sliver; it’s the nights that  are close to the New Moon that offer a truly dark sky- with typically just 0%-3% light- or 100% darkness! Our events are planned so we can access an area that is very little light pollution and to take place on the night of new moon- so we have the best chance of seeing the stars, galaxies, meteors and satellites that decorate the skies above us.

The dates we have planned are:

  • Fri. 12th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Gribdale Gate, Great Ayton
  • Sat. 13th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Runswick Bay
  • Wed. 17th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Runswick Bay
  • Fri. 19th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Gribdale Gate, Great Ayton
  • Sun. 21st Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Sheepwash Car Park, Osmotherley
  • Tues. 23rd Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Runswick Bay
  • Wed. 24th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge

We aren’t going to give the secret away as to what we look for when planning these events- but we will be at a vantage point where we can see the horizon when the moon rises!

Upcoming dates:

  • Sun. 28th Feb. 2021, 6.30pm-8.30pm, Runswick Bay

Booking link coming soon…

Cooking a hearty meal, on a fire you’ve lit, using fuel you’ve cut in the darkness is a truly mindful and soul enriching experience; we’re lucky that we do it often, and just want to share that with you!

The dates for this event are:

  • Mon. 15th February 2021, 6pm-9pm at Baby Moon, Dunsdale, TS14 6RH
  • Sat. 20th February 2021, 6pm-9pm at Baby Moon, Dunsdale, TS14 6RH

See our bookings page here for more details.

During the darker evenings we schedule two hour night navigation sessions, aimed at either introducing you to the skills needed for night navigation, developing your skill or individual coaching to refine it. What we find, is that if you can navigate during darkness, you can navigate in other foul weather should you need to!

The dates we have planned are:

  • Tues. 16th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Gribdale Gate, Great Ayton
  • Thurs. 18th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Gribdale Gate, Great Ayton
  • Mon. 22nd Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Gribdale Gate, Great Ayton
  • Fri. 26th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Gribdale Gate, Great Ayton

As the moon progresses in its phase towards becoming full, we will take advantage of its light as it moves through its waxing gibbous stage. Often, either side of a full moon we can see quite clearly just by lunar light, even on the darkest of nights. We will meet locally, and experience the North York Moors in its celestial beauty. 

Dates we have planned are:

  • Thurs. 25th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Gribdale Gate, Great Ayton
  • Sat. 27th Feb. 2021, 6pm-8pm, Sheepwash Car Park, Osmotherley

What if it’s Cloudy…?

Let’s face it, there’s always the possibility of it being cloudy!

If it is, we will still head out and see if we can spot any nocturnal wildlife- as well as experiencing the darkness in a wild and remote place!

We are proud to be awarded the Dark Skies Friendly status from the North York Moors National Park.
