Nothing can quite describe the sense of wonder felt seeing the aurora borealis for the very first time, and incredibly at Bassenthwaite Lake in the Lake District! There was a lot of moon this night, which lit the ground beautifully, but I did worry that the lights wouldn’t beat the moon lighting up the sky. There were even some pillars! A welcome sight after many fruitless attempts trying to catch the Northern Lights.
