The Worthing Astronomers plan a stargazing session at one of their favourite dark sky sites. They intend to make the most of the clear skies, so come and join them for an evening of stargazing and discussion. A small track is up to Kithurst Hill, so please drive carefully. There is a public car park at the top; the group will be setting up at the far end of the car park. Note this event is weather-dependent.
