FYI-These were from 3rd November over Windermere last year. It’s early October still and the colours are already changing quite dramatically here.
Just a thought but the back end of November might be too late.
Thanks for the heads up… There are much less changes to the trees here atm, and I am away from the 21st until the 29th on Skye and Lewis / Harris, so can’t do those 2 weekends, hence why the idea of polling for November dates…
Happy for someone else to organise a meet instead if there is an apetite for folks to meet before we get into November?
Ok, looks like most folks are rooting for as early as possible in November - before the trees are fully bare, so we will go with the 4th or 5th, weather depending - we can always delay a week or so if needs be
Now, do we want an early start possibly with sunrise, or a later one incorporating a possible sunset?
And where do we want to go?
Suggestions in the chat please and I will set up a poll at the end of the week…
Current suggestions -
Beacon Park disused Golf Course Wigan (lots of trees)
Wigg Island - Runcorn (some trees and bridges)
Sow Brook Park - Lymm (2km walk, some trees and ship canal / Thelwall Viaduct
Carrington Moss - 1km walk (trees and fields and the Gas burn off tower)
And anywhere else that folks want to suggest? Where has good forests and trees that we can capture? Possibly with ruins or water to give us something else to capture? Get your thinking hats on!!
That’s a good point. I actually make the angle a little bit further to the East which means getting the sunrise through the bridge a bit tight but possible. Not a bad angle for sunset.
Nowt wrong with having 2 meets on the day, one first thing for sunrise and another for sunset, if needs be… I often see sunrise as Lee @dobby is up for 5am for work…
I quite like the idea of the Wigan venue. Got a mate up there who I could pop in to see. He might even be interested in coming to the meet. He bought one of those cheapo drones ( £29.99) Flew it once and lost it.
