Definate glow to the northern horizon between the little bits of
cloud. First aurora for years, there may have been other chances in

Alerts from spaceweather.com and Lancs Uni Aurorawatch.

Kp about 6, which it has to be to produce a visible aurora here and
forecast to rise:

It was also visible from Tideswell just after 2200. No colour to it, just a
glow of light.
