Yes I heard about this on my radio on my way to work this morning. I have too much light to see them. And I'm working this weekend so won't be staying up late nor travelling to see themJust a 'bump' to remind people that the Perseids activity peaks tonight.
I wrote this, way back in 2004, before this site was re-organised.I met my wife on a journey out into the Pennines to watch the Perseids; about six or seven of us left the pub, and I saw a meteor; we all piled into an old car and went up into the hills around Ladybower, and watched them till two o'clock in the morning.
