    Cheers girls,

    They were taken at approx 3.30 this afternoon. I took a load more of the Lady Bower resv ( gets its name from the village that was stood there but was evacuated to make way for the damm, in summer when the waters low you can see the tops of the house roofs and church steeple ) . this morn at 7am when we got there as the mist was rolling across but had my phone on the wrong setting and to be hobest they look crap :evil: :evil:

    Ian :lol:

    Yeah, its really nice up there, 22miles from my house. I'm a bit annoyed I dont get up there more often as its a major tourist attraction with some proper olde wolde viilages ( and village pubs :wink: ).

    Were back up there to finish the job on Thursday so I'm thinking about going out and buying a proper camera and hope the weather holds out again.

    Ian :lol: :lol:
