| Sun Ra knew these things |
The ‘Dash is keyed in
to the solstice not the Luna cycle so it’s a rare occurrence to see a full moon
on the ride. If the full moon leads to lunatism then we will come pretty close to
finding out this year; Sunday 19th is just one day before the full moon and 98% luminosity.
We may not
see her but she will be there making the dark a little…. well, brighter.
Even better for us is
that the moonset and sunrise almost collide so - weather permitting – we might
just see both in the space of 20 minutes between 4.34-4.52
We’re usually heading
between Amesbury and Salisbury at this point. This gently rolling section is
one of my favourites with just enough light to illuminate the beautiful
vernacular architecture (thatched walls anyone?). The River Avon will also be
below us gently meandering through the fields with lush greenery all around, it’s
very special - you’d have to be mad to miss it…
