rockhopper wrote:Absolutely stunning dooters - really enjoyed that ! :thumbup: :clap: Takes me back - spent many a family holiday up here decades ago (when it was warm enough to swim in those beaches). I see the gun emplacements at Cove haven't changed in over 30 years but the seat looks new. Barring the little cloud on the hills, you certainly picked the best weather to see this area at its finest. Good to see you back out again - cheers :)

Lovely part of the world to have a holiday. Was that when summers actually lasted for 6-8weeks!

Cracking TR Dooters, what a weekend that must have been.
Some stunning photos and even a wee bit of history thrown in here and there as well.

Just a pity your photo album is already made up, i'm sure a few of those photos might have made it in.
Brilliant !!

Well said GLW. When the sun shines it's a glorious place to be (up north and away from the big smoke)
