Spring Equinox

Today marks the Spring Equinox that occurred at 11.21pm this evening in the UK.

The term 'equinox' actually refers to the moment that the sun crosses directly overhead at the Earth's equator and some consider this to be the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the center of the Sun being in the same plane as the Earth's equator.

Definitely a time to consider pulling on those walking boots!
