Thank you, Carey. As mentioned, the Lyrids are not one of the stronger meteor showers but the dark sky on the early mornings Carey quotes will help. As with all meteor showers, there's always the chance of a very bright meteor, so probably depends how keen you are to stay up and watch.
The Lyrids does tend to have a burst of meteors every 60 years or so but unfortunately the next one isn't expected until the early 2040s, so mark your calendar.
