Had pretty good luck in Chester. Set my alarm specifically for it, made a brew and sat on my car bonnet and watched it. Very light cloud actually seemed to help define it a bit more. Was surprised at how cool it was, not seen one before! Did get a few odd looks from drivers-by, as I live on a busy A road.

A thought for Sir Patrick Moore, please.
Gamesmaster is always in my thoughts
Say what? Magnitude? LOL
The last one in 99 was significantly more impacting than this poxy, barely got dark, effort

It does make you wonder. We have to be one of a few handful of planets in the whole galaxy that can probably experience an eclipse.

It's not a total one here in sunny Shropshire - missed bottom of the sun

Clouded over so gave up and made my own.
Pretty sure this is the third one I've seen now (1985 born). I recall one prior to 1999 as well but cannot pin the date, that was almost a full one I think.

Total non event here. I was quite stoked as well. I'll only see three in my lifetime if I'm lucky, one in 1999, one today. I'll be 94 for the next one, if I live that long...

Bit crap compared to 99. In the Midlands with clear sky

What an anti climax that was. Clear brilliant skies and it just went a tinge darker.
