    I was there today, and the rhododendrons are in full bloom. There is a spectacular carpet of fallen pink rhods and bluebells.. Well worth a look for all the flower types and a beautiful spot to boot. Of COURSE i didn't have the camera with me.. :mad:

    Well there's two ways to look at this. It was either too bright for you - given your tallent is in pubs'n clubs taking gig shots :D or simply you fv<ked up !!!! :D

    How on earth did you forget the cam. Even a disposable could have been bought in the shop, with a quick trip for c41 process and bobs yer unkle.

    Appreciate the tip though. I didn't even know this place was here. It sounds like a great day out for a family trip.

    Don't beat yourself up over it.
    I am sure we have all done that before. I know I have.

    Is there a thread somewhere on boards that has a list of places that offer good photo opportunities?

    In fairness, I'd headed off without the camera on purpose as I have upwards of 4000 shots to process from the last few months and I've made myself a deal that I don't take a damn thing till I get through some of them. I didn't know we'd be going somewhere like this though - it was stunning. I had the phone camera - I think that was worse than having nothing :(

    It's definitely worth a trip. Maybe a boards meet some time? Although I don't think the Rhods have much left in them. Its a lovely place for a wander anyway..

    Little consolation, perhaps, but the photo of the Broad Walk with rhododendron petals everywhere might be of interest:

    There is also a "Fossil Lawn" planted with trees that evolved at the dawning of time. I'll upload more photos when I get a moment.
