Continuing on directly from my previous post as I walked along Weymouth sea front, I paused to make a couple of images of the “beach huts”. While these are not exclusively a British phenomenon, they are very typical, and out of season, a certain have a certain feel. In Weymouth they come in many shapesContinue reading “Weymouth #2”

Weymouth #1
Another run to the hospital, left me with 5 hours to fill so I drove 8 miles south to my hometown of Weymouth. I moved away over a decade ago, but spent over 40 years there, and so have many memories of almost every nook and cranny! I have some great memories but these daysContinue reading “Weymouth #1”
Onto Dawlish Warren
Having walked the entire length of the seafront in Dawlish on a glorious sunny October day, I continued on, passing behind Langstone Rock. The Langstone rock field (above) is just the other side of the rock. A haven for sea life that likes tidal rock pools. It is here that the sea wall and theContinue reading “Onto Dawlish Warren”
Dawlish: Sea Wall
Once I’d finished my quick walk around the town of Dawlish, I walked along the sea wall. It’s recently been completely re-built due to storm damage, and very impressive it is! The photo above is taken from the narrow old pier that juts out into the sea (below). From the same spot you can makeContinue reading “Dawlish: Sea Wall”
Dawlish
I still have another post to make about my visit to Exeter, but to have a little break I’m moving forward a day! I walked back to the same railway station as the day before, but took the train in the opposite direction. Down the estuary away from Exeter and along the coast to Dawlish.Continue reading “Dawlish”
Exeter: Walls
Having done a river walk, I moved to walking the walls of Exeter, or as much as I could. There are a few info boards here and there that tell the history and point the visitor in the right direction. For the purposes of a photo blog however, the plaque above perhaps says enough! BelowContinue reading “Exeter: Walls”
To Cockwood Harbour
I’ve been on a short break! I took the Motorhome on it’s maiden voyage, about 100 miles, down into Devon, to the small village of Cofton. I’m sure you won’t have heard of Cofton, but you may have heard of it’s neighbour – Dawlish. I got to the campsite at about 4pm, figured out theContinue reading “To Cockwood Harbour”
More from Bournemouth
A couple of posts back I shared some photo’s I made on a lovely summer day – a photo walk along Bournemouth promenade. This is sort of a “Part-2 the walk back”! Chatter: Pentax ME Super with the 40mm pancake lens. 26 year out-of-date Ilford FP4 Movie Film, developed in D23.
Last day of Summer?
Last week, on my day off, I drove the short distance into Bournemouth, parked up and had a photo walk. I park near the top of a chine, and walk down to the beach. All along the seafront promenade until I reach the pier then turn around and walk back, unless I need to walkContinue reading “Last day of Summer?”
Agfa APX in Poole
I believe that the “new” Agfa APX100 is the same as Kentmere 100. Question: Have you ever come across a supplier that offers both? Not that it matters any, it’s a couple of pounds cheaper than FP4, so if I ever get to the point where I need to reduce my film costs, I’ll beContinue reading “Agfa APX in Poole”
