This week outside.

If you know of an event that's coming up or a useful website then please let me know. This blog is very much in its infancy so we look forward to any input.

The Skies Above
http://www.brannelastronomy.com/events.htm  Friday 28th August: Sidewalk Astronomy - Charlestown Habour Our chance to get out and show any passers by some of the more accessible sights in the night sky. (The following evening will be backup in case of bad weather.)


http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/court_and_social/article6597214.ece Contains a summary of what we can hope to see in the August skies. UK wide - but we all share the same sky :-)

The Seas Below
Tides - Follow the link and just click on your closest beach / port / harbour. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/coast/tides/southwest.shtml We're moving towards neaps now so high tides will gradually move towards lunchtime, lows in the morning and evening. I do like neap tides for walking Harry as we get so much more room for him. The big sping lows at lunchtime are great for rock-pooling but are lousy times to walk Harry as there are too many happy diversions for him - running children, ice cream, other dogs, people who hate dogs and think they should be banned.

Valleys to Moors and everything in between.

There are loads of fabulous events running all over Cornwall with the CWT, whale watching, bat spotting, rockpooling, wildlife filming, mushroom spotting. Spaces are always limited and popular so I've put the whole month ahead in.
