Monster took me camping to Dorset, Devon and Somerset the week before last.  Went walking, sea kayaking and camping (amongst other things).

Nice pics!  You've beaten me with the ruins, I think - it ought to be Corfe Castle but I can't work out the car park :think:

 

PS Got it!  Blowing up the pic shows a strip of tarmac hidden in the shadow.  The lay-by car park just off the A351, I believe?

[shrub]

You seem to have found the only Renault Avantime left in the UK!!

[900000]

It is Corfe Castle indeed!

As to the Avantime: I have TWO sets of friends each with an Avantime in that colour.

@900000: I especially like the third photograph with those clouds as a background!

Does the poor bloke know you were photographing him coming back from the kazzie?

 

Looks like a nice time.

[Shaker Steve]

The 2nd photo looks like a good slope for another Yeti photo shoot like the one we did at Gaydon at the meet.

The sheep they use to graze round there come in two breeds - Clockwise and Anticlockwise.  Based on leg-length, we're told

Lol. You'd struggle to get any vehicle on that as it is near 45 degrees!

[domhnall]

since we're camping this is my shot from earlier this week - didn't take the yeti as it is more cramped for sleeping and has no cooker or fridge

hoping it doesn't spark a discussion of the merits or otherwise of bonnet bras

Tartan?

Chess board methinks.

Just posting a few of the new yeti and our mini yeti adventure yesterday, around the fermanagh lakes. Had a nice wee drive through lough Navar forest where we got to try out some of the off road functions. 280miles and only spotted one other yeti on the way home. I think it was the urban model. Forgive the poor pictures they were just quick camera phone snaps.

Monster loves camping.  And like a true Yeti he wants to camp in a forest where there is fire and no-one else around.  He found it this weekend near Winchester (since the Cumbria trip was cancelled due to the 24/7 rain forecast for that region with possible local flooding - we said no thanks to all that in a tent!)

Looks like you found the Teletubbies secret hideout. :sun:

It's not the first time my tents have been called that!

[Llanigraham]

I think your fire pit leaked!

 

How do you do the aerial one, Johann?

 

And 2 from me of our (accidental) green laning jaunt the other week

Yes this campsite allows fires on the ground and we just used the fire pit on the same spot where previous people had had their fire.  Hence "the leak".

 

The second pic is the flat version of a Photosynth 360 degree image:

In the first and third photos you can see the hunting ladder I climbed up to take the photo from.

[Llanigraham]

Very neat.

I thought you'd invested in one of those hover cameras

I'm a man of gadgets indeed, but alas, that is one gadget I do not have (yet).

 

You can also, if you go really crazy with Photosynth and intentionally upset the algorithm, create some bizarre Picasso-esque photos (of Yetis and tents to keep it OT):

 'Accidental'?  Is there a story in that, Graham?  Do tell! :think:

[Llanigraham]

We were coming south down the pass from Dolgellau and my wife looked over towards Talyllyn Lake and noticed something odd about it and said she wanted to have a look. (Weed and wind catching it!) Drove down the B road one side of the lake and noticed that my sat nav showed a road the other side, so we drove it.

Didn't realise there was a ford just before it joins the main road.

Goes from the 4 just above "Tal-y-llyn" to a cross roads just before the B below Minffordd. Mostly broken tarmac.

 

There is also an interesting short cut from the A487 to the B4405, called Rhiw Staerdywyll, if you enlarge and go slightly south. Rough tarmac but VERY steep!

[Brijo]

Good Yeti terrain by the look of it!  Noted that Google didn't 'Street View' between the gates, along the lake, nor the shortcut, which seems to be one-way downhill. 

[Llanigraham]

They only put the one-way signs up recently, but I wouldn't want to drive up it anyway!
