Early Morning Castle + Fort tour


Pritchard

Recommended Posts

After a few glasses of wine last night I got a taxi home and left my car at a restaurant. Got dropped off this morning bright and early to pick her up.

after grabbing a coffee and fuel i thought i would make the most of the 8am sunday roads.

 

heres a few pics that i got from the morning sun. car is filthy, and its just a phone camera so they do look dull im afraid. but was a very nice drive :)

 

 

- Amazing what can be acheived when there are no muppets causing queues. :lol:

- number 4, now i did drive to this castle, but i couldnt get around the side of it for a photo, so i got one of the gates (proof is on the plaque :D )

I really need to invest in a proper camera for times like these. Samsung Mobile just doesnt do it justice.

Pictures look fine Pritchard and love the view in the last shot. B);)

 

its a place called 'Viewpoint' in kent. aptly named. You literally have a 180 degree view for miles. great for car meets and photoshoots. although trying to get a clear day is always tough.

 

 

Great pics mate. Nice location there for few pics :thumbs:

 

Cheers. :) rocked up tothem all with my favorite headunit background :lol: should have got that in some shots.

Will,

no not Leeds caslte. although its only a short drive from the above.

 

however Leeds Caslte (the castle itself) isnt viewable from the road. and to actually drive in front of it you need to go through a few sets of gates and many acres. i dont think its open for general 'car photo opportunities'

although i havent ever checked...
