Sheer madness from the DarKnights this week

Mars may have appeared burning hot this morning as a tiny red spot next to the moon when the lunar occultation played out but my fingers and toes definitely were not. The temperatures plummeted to -5°C at 04:57 this morning. She kept us waiting for just under an hour as she disappeared behind the moon, re-emerging at 05:55.

A moment of madness I am thinking as I am still shivering an hour and a half later despite a bowl of porridge and a steaming cup of coffee.

Beware of these events organised by Gareth for the DarKnights!

PS From Gareth
It was an amazing experience. And I learned people walk dogs up there at that time. THOSE people are mad!
