RMweb Gold 96701 Posted April 16, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 16, 2015 I was just leaving the depot today, when i saw a woman with a couple of toddlers rushing across the public bridge so that the kids could see the train leaving the station. Not only did they just about make it, but the HST driver saw them and gave them a toot. The children were absolutely delighted that the driver acknowledged them, and it made my day too. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted April 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) A glorious Spring day today. This was the view looking west from Old Hills, Worcestershire. Looking all the better for the presence of a cheese & pickle sandwich. Martin. Edited April 18, 2015 by martin_wynne 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 18, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hi. Here's some lovely countryside near Holme-Upon-spalding-Moor, E. Yorkshire. The road is called Spen Lane which leads to the old station. All the best, Market65. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Waverley West Posted April 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I must admit the relentless sun here in Cumbria does get a bit tedious at times (ahem), but on Saturday I decided to take full advantage with a walk up Scafell (as opposed to Scafell Pike). The views stretched from the Southern Uplands of Scotland, to the Isle of Man and across to the Pennines... The view across Wasdale Head to the Mosedale Horseshoe. Now there's a U-shaped valley for you. Whether this is the finest view in Britain is a moot point, but you've got to agree it must be one of the best. Yewbarrow, Great Gable, Lingmell, Scafell Pike and Scafell, with Wastwater in the foreground... Red Screes, Wastwater... Some young Herdwick lambs down in the valley. We saw some of the same age high up on the fells. Hardy sheep! A view of the NW fells from the summit. The fells have still to shake off their winter tinge at this time of the year. There was even chance for a quick snowball fight at the top, in April... Edited April 21, 2015 by Waverley West 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted April 20, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi. Have been cycling around Howden in E. Yorkshire. Came across the tiny village of Brind to the north of Howden, and here's some photo's which I took of this lovely tree-lined place. This taken from the junction with main road from Howden: The last bend before Brind: This what passes here for the village - mainly trees and fields! And here is the road looking back towards Howden: All the best from leafy Yorkshire, Market65. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) On the way to getting one of my vans MOTed this morning I took this shot from near the top of Park Hill, Charlton Marshall looking north, across the Stour valley, towards the southern end of Cranborne Chase. And about 45 degrees to the left, Blandford nestles in a depression in front of the North Dorset Downs.

BobM Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Aren't these beautifully clear anticyclonic conditions just perfect both for photography and for getting out and about within....so wonderful without the full leaf canopy of the woodland...the wood anemones responding to the maximum light flooding through the bare branches.....lookout though...next week looks much colder...even the 'white stuff' perhaps in some areas, especially the higher levels!! Cheers for the beautiful pictures...Bob 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary hill Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Croft Hill SSSI, Leicestershire. The site of some splendid Norman butchery justice in 1124 when 44 thieves were hanged at the top of the hill and a further six unfortunates blinded and castrated on the same day. It's quieter now apart from when the adjacent quarry is blasting. Croft Quarry. Said by some to be one of the deepest man made holes in Europe - approximately 270 metres or 900 feet deep. Some slightly more sylvan scenery - the River Soar which runs at a lower level along one side of the quarry site. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) And I thought Delabole was big, and is only half that depth -amazing!! Off to Cogden Beach at Burton Bradstock to walk the dogs today before the good weather breaks tomorrow - must remember the camera .

coachmann Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Every years around this time, the hovering bees arrive to jealousy patrol a patch of our garden; usually around 18 ft by 10 ft. The one near my garden table is great as he keeps the flying pests away from me and my butties. They are not exactly camera friendly and I was swinging the zoom around like a demented missile launcher before going for a grab shot this this afternoon...... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 A beautiful day at Cogden Beach, Burton Bradstock with all 3 'pups' enjoying an excellent walk on a beach very popular with dog owners, with many intrigued by our glorious, cool, laid-back Merlin the Leonberger (avatar). Hive Beach at the western end of Cogden, looking over Lyme Bay. Westerly view along Cogden beach. View of Hive Beach from behind the café ( a place to avoid if, like me, you don't like pretentious over priced food). 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Sublime S&D country. Indeed, the track-bed, now a footpath, is in the line of trees to the right of the rape-field in the lower picture, and continues along the field hedge that can be just made out to the right.

RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted April 24, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2015 View from Nordy Bank last evening. Nordy Bank is an Iron Age hill fort on Brown Clee hill in South Shropshire. The golf ball in the distance is the Air Traffic Control radar station on Titterstone Clee. Martin. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
