Sunday 19th July 2009 saw the first “Sound Mirrors Open Day” and hopefully this won’t be the last. I want to say a big thank you to Owen and his team at the Romney Marsh Countryside Project for organising this event which allowed visitors an all day access to the site.
I was joined by Wayne, Pete & Simon
Enjoy
Hi all,
I have finally managed a day out with good weather! I decided to head off to the De La Warr pavilion in Bexhill On Sea.

Hi all,
After yet another trip to Dungeness yesterday I just had to add more images to my website. The weather couldn’t have been any better, and I had a very productive day.
The following images (and more) can be found in the “Landscapes Gallery” You might have to refresh your browser or empty your history out to view the new images.

A trip out wouldn’t be complete unless you had a good friend with you, yes you guessed right “RUSTY” is back! after his long summer break he decided to go back to work, I’m currently looking in to having a RUSTY website, I have the name but it’s all about building the site!
The following photographs can be found in the “Work In Progress Gallery”

Well that wraps it up for now,
Take care

Yesterday I headed off to Dungeness with Pete & Simon from the Bognor Regus Camera Club.
An early start, and having arrived unfashionable late Pete drove the old coastal route and we managed to arrived in good time.
We took in the sites and sounds of Dungeness Beach area, mainly photographing the light house and all the junk the fisherman have left behind or some would say still using.

With time running out to meet our 2pm appointment we headed back to car and a spot of lunch in the Britannia Inn, whilst enjoying lunch the rain started again but this time it was serious cats & dogs weather! Not to be put off we headed to out rendezvous point and debated for some time if we should take part in the walk to the Sound Mirrors or not, fortunately for us the rain eased off and off we went.
Now for those who don’t know the sounds mirrors date back to WWI are were used to detect enemy planes of the shores of England, they kind of worked but helped pave the way for Radar detection.
The only way to gain access legally is to join the free walk or take a rowing boat across the water and take your chances with the armed guards, hungry dogs and the razor wire fences (just kidding) but please if you have to go there take the walk, contact www.rmcp.co.uk for information on the guided walks (donations after the walk would be gratefully received to help fund all of there projects and the hard work they do keeping the area in the shape it is in.
