Wondering if anyone else out there is planning to watch the
solar eclipse!
Cornwall would be excellent, but might be cloudy...
The only guaranteed destination is Iran with a 98% chance of
sunshine...
Otherwise, Transylvania or Lake Balkash in Hungary are good
options, though still only 70% chance of sunshine...
Any thoughts or plans?

Hi Julian
I was originally planning to view the eclipse in Cornwall
but have decided I really want to see it not be with a
million other people staring at a cloudy sky! I am now
intending to watch it in Turkey or Iran. Esfahan in Iran
is the place most likely to have good viewing conditions. I
have the addresses of several good websites detailing the
path of the eclipse, if you'd like them please email me (I
don't have them to hand at the moment). There was a very
interesting article in the Big Issue this week about the
eclipse which is worth reading if you intend to view it.
Me and a friend are planning on going to Romania to see it -
I'm travelling around the Philippines at the moment but will
be back in London in May - if you want more info or are
interested in joining us let me know.
Transylvania should be fun - the Vampires don't normally get
out in daytime. I believe some private pilots are planning
to fly along the line of total eclipse. Sounds rather
dangerous. It has already had some coverage in Sky and
Telescope magazine and I am sure they will really go to town
in the July or August issue. I will watch it in the garden
at home, not quite total but it will have to do.
HI!
I live in Romania and the best place from where you can see
the eclipse is NOT in Transilvania( which, btw, is a county
of Romania, not a country as most know), but the south of
the country. also, there are no vampires:) sorry to
dissapoint you.. you could come and stay in Bucharest for a
while, there are at least 10 clubs i am sure you would love
if you generally like parties. i can give you some names.
Then, is I were you I would go to Brasov, which is a small
town at high altitude. gorgeous sights and you are in the
land of vampires:)
if you need info on Romania, email me at dutua@hotmail.com
bye
