We'll, last night was bit 'Meh'
Was a perfect night for it, with little or no wind. Drove past the parking carnage between the garage and the bottom turn off and kept going up the old Mam tor road. Loads of parking really near speedwell - (there's a little car par that still had spaces up there!!).
Was a nice atmosphere amongst the crowd and the kids enjoyed the sense of adventure. But the installation itself was largely underwhelming.
4 lasers creating a wave effect just above the road, 8 smoke machines and 2 very dull orange lamps lighting up a patch of steep grass. I was expected a whole bunch more spot lights, lighting up shining tor, the shield, the ridges etc. Ho Hum.
You weren't allowed off the side of the road much, nor up the road 'above' the lasers. I'm guessing it might of looked quite good from right up on top of the shield. (i.e. park and walk in from the top).
General impression was it wasn't as good as the laser in the orbit in 94.
