As you all live too far north, I thought I'd meet up with some people from the 'other side' With the amazing weather it turned out to be a quality day! I know people like pictures and some of these are too good not to share, even if it is slightly the wrong forum
So, here we are:


We all met up outside a pub, about 5 miles from Longleat, out first stop




Once the last stragglers arrived and the talking was done, we convoyed to Longleat. For those of you who don't know what it is, Longleat is a large park, which you can drive through and view animals from your car

Us at the entrance



As we rang ahead and told them we would like to take some pictures there as part of a club, we were granted free entry to the grounds



Driving to the 'picture location'




Our unplanned parking worked out very nicely . A few pictures here because I like them






Once the pictures were taken, we split up. Some heading back north and the rest of us carried on south, heading to Weymouth and the beach! We accidently found an epic driving road, shame we had to follow tractors/micras all the way



As usual the entrance to Weymouth was very slow, and stopped at some points because of everyone going to the beach as well. Gave me time to get some good shots though




Once we finally parked up, we got out the BBQ's and ate Well, eventually. The breeze made it difficult to light the BBQ's



I hope you like the pictures! I took loads more, but didn't want to overfill the thread so look here:

I'm going past Longleat in a few weeks. How did you manage to blag getting infront of the house. May have to give it a go

Great pics and location. It's such a shame your camera packed up at fitp

If I'm honest I don't know. The person who organised it phoned up a week before and we all had to register our names and reg's with them. I'll ask them for you. And if you do get in let me know and I might pop over, it's not that far .

Coming from the picture master, thanks very much! I was gutted about FITP but I got a few nice shots. One of us owning Ellington highstreet, but I keep forgetting to upload it
