On two previous Ian & Ian ‘Photo-Walks’ Ian J. and I had met on Tuesdays. However, due to the ‘heatwave’ we’ve been experiencing, Ian messaged me suggesting we go Thursday evening - to which I instantly agreed. I am so glad this arrangement worked out, as it was a near magical escapade - walking from the National Trust car park at Sandpoint up the steps onto the edge of Middlehope and then out to Sandpoint; photographing anything, indeed if not quite everything, that caught our eyes. Awaiting us were: savage brambles that gouged, jagged protruding stones and rocks that tripped you and shear drops ready to catch out we two intrepid, if unsuspecting or, more likely, foolhardy club members. Oh and I did mention the gnats that bit one as if a ‘great white’ had! None of this could deter us though as we breathed in the rarefied air and viewed the magnificent vista of the Bristol Channel; with the backdrop of Wales, across the water, bathed in late evening sun. We talked, we exchanged views, offered each other thoughts and even ideas, What more could one ask? Oh yes, photo opportunities I guess. And there were; by the boat load for a seeing eye. Well I took, give or take, 100 frames [not sure about Ian’s count] and had a walk to remember. Note: Ian J making good use of an impromptu monopod!
