We were rewarded by rather better conditions than had been expected. The Sun was on view most of the time, with just a few passing clouds. There was just one properly cloudy spell, which occurred at roughly mid-eclipse. A range of telescopes and cameras were in use, plus several pairs of trusty cardboard \u201cEclipse Glasses\u201d. One member – John Ridge – had been creative and had made a viewer out of a cardboard box. Newlands Corner being a popular spot in the local countryside, quite a few passers-by stopped for a chat and a look at what was going on.
The morning\u2019s activities were rounded off by lunch in the nearby village of Shere.
