We took a drive out to the Minninglow dark sky site in the Peak District (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_District https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_District) in the small hours of this morning. It was quite amazing to witness the streaks of the Perseid meteor shower! We counted 30 over the course of an hour. No telescope required. The peak is meant to be tomorrow night. I highly recommend trying to catch it if you can. I found the "MeteorActive" and "Clear Outside" iOS apps quite useful for picking the right time for the best view.
