On the summer solstice 2001 (21 June) and the day either side, Kent organised free guided viewings of the Leek double sunset, as seen against The Cloud, from Lowe Hill on the outskirts of town, which were attended by large numbers of people. The following year, on the same three nights, he offered free guided viewings of both the Chrome Hill double sunset, as seen from Glutton Bridge, in Derbyshire, and the Leek phenomenon, as visible from the road to Pickwood Hall, the best observation point in the town. The occasions again proved popular and he continued to hold events at these same two locations, with varying degrees of success, until 2013. In 2014, he switched the Leek observations back to Lowe Hill because tree growth over the years had made it a better viewing site than that on the road to Pickwood Hall.
