According to Sky at Night, the Perseids should max out on the 12th of August.

Assuming you can see them through the aurora.

Er, we've had a delay up here. Should be the 13th now.

Sorry.

Too much light pollution. Standing on a hill in the middle of a massive racecourse overlooking Farnborough airport.

Its very dark!

I may know that hill. It may be the one I once used to watch the air show. I lived on Reading Road South, Church Crookham, for a bit. I thought the race course was nearer the main road? And the hill on the edge of waste ground between Fleet and Aldershot? Good area for running.
