Dew...it depends which way the wind is blowing (dry desert wind or moist coastal) but the 1000+m altitude usually helps a lot compared to Lostock. What sort of scope will you be taking? It's not unheard of for a big newt or cat to dew up a bit, so may be better to take precautions if that's the case
Last time I used my C11 up there it stayed dew free all night without heating.
The site is off-grid and has solar panels with a limited number of sockets and it may get busy at times given the volume of people, but you should be able to recharge at some point during the day.
