If so, can I crash at your place for a few days?  :-*

That quite a few places in Wales and Scotland can offer purdy views.

I've seen an unedited (as in not dramatised) picture of the sky in some remote area of Afghanistan in a magazine once. My brain exploded.
But since Afghanistan is a tad life unfriendly, I was curious if you guys know of any relatively easy to reach places in le Europes.

Galloway Forest park is one of my summer camping spots, banks of Loch Trool

it is a clear skies spot

plus no stoopid English trespass laws means i can camp wherever the hell i like.
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Why all the fuzz around it? Just ask Garry in a straight manner if you can sleep over at his place. Jeez, would make all our lives easier if you two just got it out of the way.
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

I was actually more interested in the skies than pitching a tent with Garry.
I've slowly started to give up hope.
