pitch black

[boyo 1,398]

i was wondering if anyone has been out many times in total darkness i dont just mean a very dark and black night but the night when if you hold your hand or fingers a inch from your face you cannot see it in all the years ive had dogs and ive had them all my life i can only ever remember being out on a night like this twice ever and it is quite frightening if you are on strange land especially if your not supposed to be there as well .when i say frightening i mean not being able to see where or what your walking into and it is a strange experience to be out on a night like this.

yes i can boyo, up those dales can be very dark, most of my permision aint that dark but up around arncliffe 20 year ago i remember some terrible dark nights, as you say you could not see your hand in front of your face, and the lamp was on evry few paces, just so you didnt trip up

In Northumberland during the miners strikes in the 70s and again during the protests against the anglo irsh deal in northern ireland in the 80s. black as coal its what it must have been like during the war

Places like that are becoming very few and far between around here. It seems like the wankers are building houses or putting roads on any little bit of countryside there is.. Where will it stop!!

most of the places are lit up round my way with the new street lights and factorys

even if your in the middle of nowhere the moon or the stars will normally give enough light but the kind of nights ime talking about and tomo is very differant just total blackness try closing your eyes real tight thats what it was like both nights never had it since .

had a night like that about 15 years ago,never forget it,first and last time my missus ever came lamping,nearly standing on a pig never done her any favours either lol,she was holding onto me that tight i couldnt f*****g breathe,she never asked again so jobs a good en in my eyes,thing is she thinks it like that every night and we are all f*****g mad to be in this game especially if you go out regular on your own like i do

Only ever witnessed the feeling up in scotland and on an island in orkney even though the sky was full of stars it was very dark due to the remoteness and the sea being on both sides of us in a short distance.The only other complete darkness was [bANNED TEXT] i worked down the pit in some parts [bANNED TEXT] you turned your cap lamp off

[Edd_Wiltshire 9]

Yeah tis a rare occasion, have to get out in the real sticks to find that.

 

Never really understood the point in a lot of the light pollution, for example lighting up dual carriagways etc, surely thats what you bloody headdlights are for!

 

Even though we are quite rural we still get a lot of pollution from bristol and bath.

 

Would love to see some realy darkness, went down a mine in arizona and that was total darness, bloody mental!
