two tone green Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Ramsey Island, my playground. The diving in the sound is excellent. Great fun on the Bitches as well. You used to be able to get some nice fish and chips out on the South Bishops Light but the keepers are long since gone now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

two tone green Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yes and the Bitches. They are a set of rocks that jut out from the island into the sound and create amazing over falls that are fun to kayak on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains&armour Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Viking raiding party gets first sight of Dun Fhoithear (Dunnottar) through the mist in AD 900? No, A foot weary Dutch archaeologist and party catch their first glimpse of Dunnotar Castle some eleven centuries later. Alas, repeated attempts to storm the gate met with little success. Disheartened, the Dutch party retreated to Stonehaven, where they received a very warm welcome in the Ship Inn. All's well that ends well! (The castle was closed for a special occasion...) 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains&armour Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Rievaulx Abbey catching the last of the day's sun. Rievaulx Abbey.jpg Great views, and I especially like the last one. Abbeys are among my favorite places to visit. But even more than abbeys, I like to visit out of the way country churches. Often simple, without any pretence, but in many cases with a history that goes back hundreds of years. A history that you can feel when you enter. Like the church of St. Gwynhoydl’s at Llangwnnadl, Lleyn Peninsula, originally built c. 14th century on the pilgrim's route to Bardsey island 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted October 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Chepstow Woods near Devauden about 10 years ago. What a place to walk a dog. Again above Devauden, this time on Creigau looking across to The Blorenge (yes, there is a word that rhymes with orange) which is above Abergavenny . Edited to spel Creigau correctly. You can relax, Blorenge still rhymes with orange. Edited October 29, 2014 by 96701 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 96701 Posted October 29, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2014 Whilst looking at the photos that I took around Devauden (the most beautiful place that I've ever lived), here's a view taken 180 degrees from the Blorenge view above, but also taken a little later in the year. We are looking towards Chepstow and the end of the Wye Valley. I was standing in this same spot in spring and could see the top of a hot air balloon. An exceptionally stunning place to be. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted October 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 30, 2014 My first pic on post # 159 was taken at the foot of the 'Blorenge' at Llanfoist Wharf. We viewed the lock keepers house at Llanfoist Wharf. We decided against it because the house came with 13 acres of forest and we wouldn't have known what to do with it. From an historical point of view however, it would have been lovely to live in a house that managed the flow of iron ore from the mountain out to the rest of the world via the canal.
