I saw them many times as a youth but the missus and the rest of the clan are desperate to see them.
So far, I took the missus up to Tromso - zip
Took the whole family(40 of us) up to Harris 2 months ago for a week - zip
took the missus to keilder reservoir observatory- zip
it's really a matter of luck

A mate of mine went somewhere to see them, stayed in an ice hotel, cost a fortune and never saw them.
I've seen them twice from Yorkshire though

Anyone done this? We'd probably only spend the weekend away as junior b0redom 1, 2, and 3 would run the grandparents ragged!
Recommendations of places to stay etc?

Edit: Iceland is ideal for a weekend - one day to do the Blue Lagoon and wander round Reykjavik, one day to do the 'Golden Circle' tour - geysers, waterfalls etc.
Edit Edit: We went in Feb, and it was flippin' freezing!Last edited by mudskipper; 12 November 2014, 22:06.
