Our local site (pony club at mangrove mountain) is about 30 minutes from home, but it's not exactly dark dark. Convenient though, with power, toilets, flat, good horizons.
Mogo creek is about 70 minutes away, much darker but no power, not as convenient, and lots of trees.
I'd love to be able to go somewhere like Lostock or Ilford but couldn't justify that drive for just one nights observing when I need to get home to the family who will wake me up at 6-7am.
