As lockdown eases on the Channel Islands, we packed up our camping equipment and set off to the World's First Dark Sky Island in search of the Milky Way.
Camping on the island of Sark is a hugely popular attraction due to the lack of light pollution that the island has. On a clear night, the view of the stars is one of the best you will find anywhere on earth.
Sark is an island situated in the Bailiwick of Guernsey and is completely removed from the rest of civilisation with no street lights and no cars or buses. The only motorised vehicles on the island are tractors, meaning there is a peace and serenity on the island that you will struggle to find anywhere else on earth.
Come along with us on our first 2020 camping trip to the island of Sark and find out if we managed to capture the Milky Way.

After lunch, we crack out the paddleboard and try our hand at a spot of Stand-Up Paddleboarding in Guernsey's most popular beach. Although, this turned into more of a montage of us falling in and climbing out..
