Well I guess as I was the last to leave home this morning, I am surely the first to get back again. Thanks for a lovely day as usual, here are my pics.

Harri....I don't want to get out of bed!!

First stop Havenstreet steam railway where it was far too cold to wait any longer for the dealer to come and take pics

Blackgang view point car park after a hearty lunch (is your dog hungry?!)

Compton beach

Alum bay

On the beach waiting for the sunset

Nice pics, was it a fabia only meet.

It wasn't planned that way, it was just how it turned out.

I've been sat next to the radiator for the last twenty minutes and I'm still frozen to the bone

Nice Pix! Frankly I'm surprised no-one tried to help the special kid back up after he slipped on the cliff!

I tried, but nobody got a pic of me standing on his hands

My pics will follow. Took over 100, got rid of about 30, now uploading 70...

Oh, and a GREAT sunny day! If a little brisk. brrrr

OK! Here they come. Bandwidth warning.

Grabbed some brekkers in McDs. Mongrel left in the carpark of course (She'd just had her breakfast at Esso )

View from carpark we all met at

The 4 cars which grabbed the 9.20 from SO

In the queue for the ferry BUT

The port made Will go in a different line because his car was FILTHY!

All fabias oddly enough.

Mongrel gets her last photoshoot in before the new bumper goes on. Sad the Skoda dealer never came though! :thumbdwn:

Pixi playing with the excitable peeing puppy.

And this is the tail end (literally) of said puppy playing with Will.

Doggy in close-up

PURE SEX! :drool:

In the pub, everyone deliberating over the menu

Some vegetarians in the group were WELL upset when their orders came out!

Oh well, can be non-veggies for one day.

Mussels! :drool:

Jeff "pool shark" in action

Carpark near Blackgang

And the view from said carpark

Some fishing and kite flying going on

Pixi is helped off a crumbling ledge

More views

Having fun on the shut-down teacups. They still spun round though.

Down to Alum Bay at the Needles

Where Will decided to sled down a cliff face which had a DANGER sign on it....

Said crumbling cliffs....

Rocky shingley beach there. No sand at all really

And this is my various "sunset" shots taken at various times, and with various settings. Hope one at least will be good enough.

Some stone throwing was had by most of the group that went.

More sunset shots as it began to disappear

Will decided to try and bury Emily with rocks.

And some rocks went down places very tricky to remove rocks from.

The moon started coming over the crumbling cliffs as we left.

Nice pics, looks like you had a good day

wasnt there any octys?

No octys. They all were too scared to come I guess. Either that, or they didn't fancy the cold.

my daughter now wished she went, told her she would miss out!!!

Looks like an excellent day and I'm gutted to have missed the trip to Alum Bay :( Maybe next year

Chris

Couldnt make it either :( - but did lots of work and I want to get my car back in shape, so worth the sacrifice so far

Looks like a top place to visit & great weather, loving the pics with the sun too

Your pics are excellent Jas

It is a great place to visit but much better in the summer without a freezing cold wind. Chris, Alum bay was amazingly fantastic as always but the tea cups were a little wet

Next year I am organising it a little bit later on in the season.

Nice pics Jason.

Maybe I'll come to Part 4

Did you get any pics of the needles?,
