Evening all,

Looking for things to shoot relatively anywhere between Southampton and Poole this coming Saturday morning, running a good friend back to Poole to catch the ferry to Jersey at lunchtime and looking for something to shoot on the way, starting out from Gloucester, happy for an early morning start, but need to be in Poole for Midday latest.

Don't know the area that well, so looking for suggestions please.

Ideal subjects would be a Weir, decent scenery, scenic lake with wildlife, Castle perhaps but not Corfe as to far east with the traffic to get back.

my recommendation would be more nautically based. Starting in the East and moving West, Buckler's Hard, Lymington quay, Mudeford, Christchurch.

There is also a small thing called the New Forest on the way should you go on the faster roads...

Lots of good suggestions, I'll add a couple of my own - Lepe Country Park (more specifically the remains of the D-Day Mulberry Harbours construction site) and Hurst Spit & Castle - both give great views of the Solent and Isle of Wight, but are a bit out of the way of 'direct route'.

Thanks Andy and John for your excellent suggestions, we've had an Aviation themed week,

So this week been to Coventry Air Museum, a pub and restaurant nr Gloucester Airport where you can have a pint and the aircraft come into land over your head, called the Aviator, 2 days on the Mach Loop and a night shoot with loads of old stuff last night at RAF Cosford, and I've found a little Air museum alongside Bournemouth Airport that's got some interesting stuff, so we'll likely go there.

All the other idea's have been added to a list when I'm in the area next to check out and I really appreciate the suggestions,

Thank you all

Chris

If you're actually in Southampton, you could consider Solent Sky link they have a Sandringham, various Supermarines and some other seaplane/flying boat exhibits (being near Calshot Spit where they used to operate from).
