Watching tonight’s ~92% solar eclipse peak over the fells right from our Ambleside balcony! 🌘✨

Remember: since we aren't in the path of totality here in the UK, certified solar glasses (ISO 12312-2) must stay on for 100% of the view. No naked-eye looking! 🕶️👍



Balcony Viewing & Safety Checklist:
Peak Timing: Maximum coverage hits Ambleside around 7:08–7:11 PM BST.
Eye Protection: Use ISO 12312-2 standard viewers or a pinhole projector. Regular sunglasses or camera viewfinders without solar filters are unsafe!
