We're heading up on Thursday for our first Loopallu and are getting near maximum safe excitement levels

One question though, it says on the website 'no naked flames' - we can still take a camping stove for our super noodles can't we?! Would not be the same otherwise.

I've been wondering for a while if the "Northern Lights" have ever been visible from Loopallu/Ullapool?

[LaurenS]

Think they mean fires and suchlike, so your stove will be fine.

[Paul ™]

I would take my wellies mate

[somerled]

I don't use wellies

Good pair of hiking boots and gaiters if needed (though the site won't get that muddy as there is concrete paths throughout it )

Yup, we can see them here in Leith too, but the sunspot activity is just coming out of the solar minimum, so auroras are unlikely unless there is a solar wind coming our way...see http://www.spaceweather.com/ for the full scoop. You might be lucky.

I dunno which weekend this is referring to, but it was on the first page when I googled "Scotland Northern Lights":
