I'm 38 and its dawned on me that I've never watched the sunrise, I mean I've been up at that time but never sat and watched it. So....I'm going to get the children really early tomorrow, pack some breakfast and go to the moors. So, it says sunrise is 5.45am tomorrow. What time should we get there, half an hour before? Dont want to get up that early and miss it!!

It’s light here at 5am but no sun yet. How is it on Exmoor?

Its light here too on the south coast but again, no sun yet. I've been to Stonehenge a few times for the summer solstice - that's always incredible. Enjoy, OP! Don't forget to post pics for us all!

Sunrise and first light are different, as I found out when doing similar... Did you make it on time, OP?

I love watching the sunrise. I'm an early riser and if its nice out I'll do yoga outside as the sun is rising.

IT WAS AMAZING!! It was beautiful and clear we also saw deer, Exmoor ponies with their goals, Exmoor cattle and their calves, hedgehogs, rabbits, bird of prey. We had the best time and now home to bacon sandwhiches!!

Ah, this is one of the very few pros of having sleep maintenance insomnia... Love it when we're on holiday up in the dales and watching the sun come up over the hills.

A guy stayed awake all night wondering what had happened to the sun. It finally dawned on him.
