Weather permitting the event should be visible in be visible in NW France, NW Spain, Portugal, almost the whole of North and South America and the Eastern Pacific.
The super part of the description comes from the moon being relatively close to Earth, 7% larger and 15% brighter. The Wolf bit comes from it being a January full moon. It is a total eclipse, in the UK the moon will be visible throughout the eclipse, weather permitting.
The forecast is for thin layers of high partial cloud, so it's a maybe... Patience required, together with large flask of coffee.
The last such full event until 2029.
D800, the Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 and my heaviest tripod.
A big heavy polar mount would be good, if I can get my head around stepper motors and their controllers, that could be possible in the future.

Update: The weather seems best in Cornwall and the North, Wales and the Eastern parts of England less good. Scotland West poor, Eastern side better.
Presumably this was a lesser version that I photographed back in 2015?
I wish you luck ...it will be cold on Monday so won't be repeating it.
