SUMMARY:Precious peatlands
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of photographs from the North Pennines AONB Partnership’s peatland programme\n14 October 2022 to 31 March 2023 \nThe North Pennines AONB Partnership’s peatland programme has been established for over 16 years and has restored an area of damaged peatland three times the size of the city of Newcastle. This exhibition illustrates the process of restoration\, and the nature and changing seasons seen by the team as they work. Drone shots give a sense of scale and at the other end of the spectrum\, close up images show the intricacies of plants like Sphagnum that make up the rich and biodiverse peatland. The North Pennines has the largest area of contiguous blanket bog in the country and the team works to restore the damage to help mitigate against climate change and flood risk. Healthy peatlands are vital\, and absorb carbon from the atmosphere\, filter water\, sustain wildlife and give the high landscapes of the North Pennines its distinctive appearance. Photographs are by the North Pennines AONB Partnership\, and by Teesdale photographer Martin Rogers. \n

SUMMARY:Star Camp
DESCRIPTION:Join our Star Camp for an astronomical weekend in Teesdale. The camp is perfect for novice astronomers and is suitable for people aged six and over. Telescopes will be provided\, along with expert guidance and you are welcome to bring your own equipment too\, including cameras (with tripods) and binoculars. There will also be astronomy themed talks\, solar observing and a bottle rocket competition. During the weekend the planets Saturn\, Jupiter and Mars can be seen during the evening and will look incredible through large telescopes (provided). The event occurs at new Moon and with no natural moonlight the skies will be at their darkest – it’s a great time of year to view the Milky Way arching across the sky above the North Pennines. You will arrive on the Friday night to a mulled wine reception at 7pm – stargazing will be available (weather permitting) on the Friday and Saturday night with departure on Sunday. Bring warm clothing and a red light torch (if you have one). \nPre-booking essential – direct with Doe Park Caravan Site –www.doepark.co.uk / 01833 650302 / info@doepark.co.uk \nPitch fees – electric £22 per night; non-electric £17 per night – plus £9.50 per person per night ‘astronomy charge’ (£8 for under 16s). \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 21 to 30 October 2022 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest22 #NPennDarkSkies \n

SUMMARY:Stargazing Experience at High Force Waterfall
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a night under the stars\, at a very special place. High Force is the largest waterfall in the country\, and is an awesome spectacle at any time of the day. At night\, though\,\nit is a special place you will remember for the rest of your life. \nThe Star Safaris team will meet at the High Force Hotel\, for an indoor briefing and presentation\, before walking down to the waterfall together. On the way\, you will learn about the unique landscape and what makes it so special as a dark sky site. The skies above the waterfall are among the darkest in Europe\, and the surrounding cliffs ensure a truly dark experience. Your guide will light the waterfall up\, so you will be able to take selfies and other photographs with your phone. \nIf the sky is clear\, we will go dark as quickly as possible and start looking at the night sky. This will be done as a group experience\, by a guide\, with a laser pointer. Unlike observatory events\, you won’t spend your time queueing for a telescope. When conditions are especially clear\, we may use astronomy binoculars. \nYou will leave the event with a greater knowledge of the night sky\, and how to find key objects and constellations on your own. More than that\, though\, you will have spent some time in the dark at a spectacular natural location\, which is normally only accessible in daylight. \nUnfortunately\, because of limited space at the location\, do not bring camera tripods\, or dogs. \nThis event is part of the North Pennines Stargazing Festival running from 21 to 30 October 2022 – www.NorthPenninesStarFest.org.uk #NorthPennStarFest22\n#NPennDarkSkies \nNo minimum age – involves a 1.2km (round trip) walk on a gravel path. Contact Star Safaris for details (via https://www.starsafaris.com/site/contact). See https://www.starsafaris.com/highforce for details on the VIP ticket. Ideal for novice astronomers
