Lune Valley DTC 6 Day Show

From this you can download the schedule and entry form which should give you some idea of what's involved. Apparently they had to cancel yesterday because it was too windy to run.

Thanks for that Susie. They would have to cancel because the windwould blow their apparatus over. We had to peg ours down on more than one ocassion.

The rest of my day - the way home. As we drove into Morecambe the sun was shining so I stopped off on the beach for a few pics.

1 Foxgloves by the gatepost on leaving the showground
2 Just to prove we were in the country - taken through the car windscreen
3 The statue on the prom coming into Morecambe from the north
4 Still coming into town
5 On the beach - quite a breeze
6 Sun on the water, distant view of the Yacht Club
7 Sunlight, the Stone Jetty on the horizon
8 A bit closer to the Yacht Club
9 Houses on the prom from the beach. The gap between the houses is the one you can see from the other side from our house, and I took the Olympic flame pics from a point just about outside the house on the very lhs of the photo
10 Seaweed - well I was on the beach!

Frank, here's how to get to the show ground if you're not familiar with it

Cheers Susie, I've passed it a few times when we've been to Kendal and I've often wondered how to get to it.

Ha ha I wondered if someone would ask. It's the yacht club race office, on the prom, overlooking the beach. It's where they start yacht races from, every Sunday, and presumably they like to be up high so they can see what's going on. It's also useful to shelter underneath if you caught on the prom in the rain!

Interesting, would make an interesting shot if it was full underneath with people in the rain, that does men thought that you would get wet taking the picture.

A selection of photos on and around Lake Garda from last June. The first batch of 6 are taken in Sirmione -a promontary at the bottom end of the lake.

I particularly like the photo with the two children playing on the edge of the lake.

The last 4 were taken in my favourite place near the top end of the lake, Gargnano.

More photos in Gargnano...and the last few in Malcesine.

We can't compete with those pictures, Rishton res doesn't come close.

no, nor does the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
It must be lovely to live somewhere as beautiful as that.
I magine opening your bedroom curtains and seeing scenes like that...it would make you want to get out and about.
When I looked out on my bedroom window on Saturday morning we had a nicel lake at the bottom of the street......it was full of gravel, bit of leaves and sticks though.... a fetching shade of mucky brown.

Dianne, I love pics 8,9 and 10.
I'm really envious. You should have them on Flickr and let more people see them.

Today we walked from Glasson Dock towards Lancaster on the Canal for 2 miles then walked back.
