RMweb Premium martin_wynne Posted July 15, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 15, 2014 ....great to see the T9 on the Severn Valley and on one of those magically misty Autumn mornings. That's a great bit of video, wrecked on RMweb by the IPB programmers who have set the iframe size to 640x390 instead of 640x360. You must set an aspect ratio of exactly 16:9 to get it to play as such. Otherwise the YouTube player assumes 4:3 ratio. It plays at the correct size on the YouTube page itself, and if you click this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h30v_anMAF8?html5=1&width=640&height=360 Martin.

Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Mornin' all, Favourite Cornish destinations here...around St Mawes on the southern coast and around Padstow on the northern coast...a typical week sees us spend roughly half of the time in each. Try the open air restauraunt in Rock for great views of the Camel estuary and lovely food/beer.

bike2steam Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Yep, but I tend to like most of Sharp's brews, along with other Cornish brews such as Skinners, and St Austell - hic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike2steam Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 As we will be in Dorset in a weeks time, it seems to me that the pub in your signature would be the perfect spot to end a day. Thanks for the pointer! Did you manage to get there, I hope you did, I spent an enjoyable lunch there today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15class Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Did you manage to get there, I hope you did, I spent an enjoyable lunch there today. Tis a long time since I was at the square. I lived and worked in the area including a few jobs at the pub, and putting up many a marquee in the grounds for them on behalf of the local scout and guide hut committee.

Trains&armour Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Did you manage to get there, I hope you did, I spent an enjoyable lunch there today. No, Alas. I had plans to visit it after a trip to Corfe Castle, but I was outvoted by the wife and kids. They wanted to go to the beach. Something do do with the weather and the temperatures... But I enjoyed myself nonetheless, with views like this: View from Eggardon Hill fort 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 27, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi. Here's a photo', near to Gate Helmsley(near Stamford Bridge, East Yorkshire). To the left is where the York to Market Weighton and Hull line used to run. I do like that tree, it is a lovely old example. Lovely sunny weather too! All the best, Market65. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something do do with the weather and the temperatures... But I enjoyed myself nonetheless, with views like this: When the air is clear at Eggardon it has what is arguably the best view of any viewing point in the British Isles, along with it's 'sister' Maiden castle you can stand just admiring the views for a good length of time.

Killybegs Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 A couple of weeks ago I 'apologised' for including a photo that wasn't taken in the UK. Silly me, this thread is entitled ... in the British Isles and that includes Ireland! So, here's another, just to prove that it's not just the sunny blue sky days that do the trick for you..... Continuing in the same vein, and to show that I haven't forgotten my roots, this is Bristol City Harbour on a misty morning in March of this year.... A little later that morning, the sun burnt off most of the mist, this is my current screen saver...... 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium martin_wynne Posted July 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 30, 2014 It was a fine summer's evening tonight, so I went for a wander along the Droitwich Barge Canal: The canal was abandoned in 1939 and lay derelict for years. Lottery money helped the dream of restoring it to be realised, and it was reopened in 2010. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droitwich_Canal Martin. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted August 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2014 Rocking and rolling down hill from Woodhead through Torside and Vale House in the sunshine this afternoon.

RMweb Premium Reorte Posted August 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 4, 2014 Any time I'm somewhere quiet and attractive (which includes feeling like there isn't somewhere big and noisy just out of sight). Sitting outside the pub in my parents' village (just outside the Lakes, so misses most of the tourist traffic that's helped turn that place into some sort of museum) on a nice summer evening, you just don't get that anywhere else in the world. A distant Scottish view where the only obvious signs of humanity are a few small specks is pretty impressive too. Pity we seem hell-bent on spoiling as much of that as possible (stick up some wind turbines! build enough bland, characterless houses to treble the size of the place!) The continual gradual erosion of all the things that I love about Britain leaves me permamently angry and depressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike2steam Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Well I spent a nice lazy Sunday at a dog show in Church Knowle, one of my favourite locations, a nice little village that nestles in the middle of the beautiful valley between Corfe Castle, and Tyneham. My plan was to drop off the wife, and dogs, and walk just a 100 yards to the 'New Inn', but you know what hey say about best laid plans - I get talking and that's it. Our Leo, Merlin (avatar) had his bright yellow 'Pets As Therapy' vest on and it was like bees around the preverbial jam-pot. ps. If you want proof of just how beautiful the area is, take the Google Maps little man for a walk down the road out of the village towards Kimmeridge. :-) Edited August 4, 2014 by bike2steam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
