September Yorkshire meet
Harry
The 15th would be best for me or could do the 22nd at a push.
I always find Temple Newsam a bit boring (photographically speaking) unless you concentrate on the flower gardens, I suppose I've seen the place too many times
Lotherton Hall is OK for a bit of everything but long lenses are a must if you want to photograph the Deer. Plus there's St Marys? chapel a few miles down the road.
Ilkley Moor, OK if the light is exceptional otherwise forget it.
Hard Castle Crags??? dont know, never been
What about the pub
Harry
1. Meeting
At last a decision
Date: 15.9.07
Time: 10.30
Venue: Hardcastle Crags, near Hebden Bridge
Meeting place: Midgehole car park
For more information see:
http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-hardcastlecrags/
and http://www.bbc.co.uk/bradford/nature/walk1/index.shtml
I don't propose the whole walk to Gibson Mill and return as that is about 3 or 4 miles. I envisage a wander round the woods and along the river.
If you want a lift from the station at Hebden bridge post a message here.
Please let me know if you are coming as I will make sure we wait for you...
2. Impotent Spider you suggested a pub meet some time. Where and when do you suggest - always happy to meet and compare beers.

PS; original reply was meant for Daniel, AKA Tyr, a TRUE northerner (even tho' he has a funny accent and wears a funny hat )
Should be there, just sorting a few things out. Seems it is going to be small again.
