I eventually found a reasonable forest and after driving along the forest track to a sign which said 'no unauthorised access beyond this point' and reversing back down the icy track in the pitch darkness trying to avoid hitting anything or getting stuck in a ditch or damaging by beamer I decided to stop looking for the perfect spot and actually take some photos.
(I recently ordered an intervalometer to do some time lapse photography but this hadn't arrived by the time I was out and about.)
I am planning on doing 3 types of night photography (a) taking some shots with minimal light pollution and maximum visible stars (b) time lapse photography of the stars rotating about the pole star and (c) star trails.
The 2 shots I have attached to this post (the best of a patchy collection) show my first attempt at method (a) and also some light painting of my car.

Looks like you're having fun in the dark, albeit when it's cold! You might want to learn from my extensive research into suitable gloves for wearing whilst operating a camera! I find the fingerless ones cause you to have freezing fingers, which isn't much better than freezing hands!
I'm very intrigued by this "intervalometer" - I can guess from the name what it is, but what a name!
