Don't think we'll have much luck Neil, for an allegedly clear night it's cloudy and raining.  >:D

I've been out for a look at 11.05 and although it is clear skys the flight path to Stansted Airport runs from the south west accross to the east of me, it's hard to tell any meteor activety from plane lights. I'll try and look again later when the air traffic dies down a bit.

My mom looked after the kids, and we went to the beach: no light pollution at all.

We saw about a dozen in 45 minutes.

Of course... we might not have spent the WHOLE time looking at the sky...
