Solar Eclipse - omnicity4659 - 20 Mar 2015
It's about to start, I've got a good view of the sun. Please don't take photos and selfies with the eclipse. Wear special glasses or watch it on telly.

Ashington
RE: Solar Eclipse - omnicity4659 - 20 Mar 2015
Damn the clouds.
It has started over Kielder.
The clouds are still covering Ashingon, at the moment.
The eclipse should reach its peak at 0930 over Newcastle and Northumberland.

It's starting to get dark up here...
RE: Solar Eclipse - omnicity4659 - 20 Mar 2015
A peek of the eclipse has just disappeared thanks to the sun.

Reminds me of 1999

Definitely looking darker down here in the Tees Valley... Cloudy though
RE: Solar Eclipse - omnicity4659 - 20 Mar 2015
It's now visible - but too bright to look at.
RE: Solar Eclipse - Simmy - 20 Mar 2015
Too overcast in Whitburn, South Shields sadly.
RE: Solar Eclipse - omnicity4659 - 20 Mar 2015
It's noticeably darker over Ashington - but that may be just the cloud.
RE: Solar Eclipse - omnicity4659 - 20 Mar 2015
It's getting brighter over Ashington - the eclipse is almost (if already) over.

Can vividly remember the one in 99, but still managed to catch a glimpse of the one today.
There was cloud, but the gaps meant the eclipse was visible.
What was noticeable, was the sudden gusts of wind and birds singing their songs as though it was evening.

Haha, very funny.

I was near Pontop Pike when the eclipse occurred.
Being positioned closer to the sun I thought I'd get a better view than most but, alas, those pesky clouds got in the way. Noticed it getting slightly darker, colder and windier but, compared to the one in 1999, I thought it was a tad anti-climatic.

All week- "Do not look directly at the eclipse"
Everyone at school today "It's happening " *looks directly at eclipse*, wasn't thay bad to be honest, just had a blue patch in the middle of my sight for 5 minutes, making everyone look like a Smurf...
