I would love to see this for real. Has anyone on here ever seen them and do you know when/where is the best place to go without costing a fortune, cheers

Yeah I've seen em. Took the kids to Finnish Lapland just inside the Arctic Circle. Stashed the kids with the elves and me and the missus went on a skidoo trip. We stopped in the middle of a forest where it was pitch black, there was absolutely no artificial light and it was deathly silent and everyone just got off their skidoos and just stood staring up into the sky watching the aurora borealis constantly changing and moving. It was a fantastic green and white colour.

One of the Finnish guides commented that he never gets bored looking at it and everyday he's amazed by it.

Don't see how it's not going to cost you a small fortune - I'd say a minimum of £600 for a 2 day trip.

Seen them many times when flying but also seen them from the ground in Lanc's as a kid. You don't need to go a long way north to see them. North of Scotland is good enough when it's active. Of course you need to be able to go at the right time.

Remember a couple of years ago they could be seen from Machester, I went out with my lad late on to try and get a glimpse but the cloud cover obscured it. As has been pointed out they are often seen in Scotland when conditions are right. Would love to see them too, promised myself a trip to Iceland and hopefully see them there, but if that pig Katona is there sack it.
