I drove past around 7pm and it looked a bit grey, shame really as earlier it looked geared up for a beauty sunset......
I looked out for you all on the bridge or to the right but couldn't see you.
The damn looked like a mirror too, can't of been any wind at all......

Another enjoyable meet but not as productive as we would have liked with the sunset not coming out to play. Phil reckons the weather is good on Sunday.

@Phil-D for some reason it wont let me upload any files to the thread keeps saying file too large even though i have sized it down for web only o_O
:confused: so will just upload them all to flickr, it seems more reliable

Can't you upload to flickr then link them in the thread. I have got lazy recently and just uploaded them to flickr and then posted them into the flickr group you set up for the meets.

That's a coincidence Rob, I tried to upload some to my TP gallery for the first time on Wednesday,I've never bothered before. It didn't matter what size I made them, it got to 90%, then gave me an error reading of 'file too big' :confused:

I couldn't be ar**d to report it either :)

I never really bothered myself either to be fair, it's better to get them in the flickr group but I like to add tags and put them in groups before I click upload lol.

Probably get them on before I go to work though and @randomwindows enjoy the game :)

Nice one. I'll pop back and check. It's been a while since I've been there, anyone the meet point on Google maps??

Cheers.
 
@posiview @Mardybum @randomwindows

Well it certainly looks promising for a good sunset but as we know, its never guaranteed :p If we're meeting and you want the best vantage point, no later than 7ish would be best :)
 
This was near Burnley yesterday, could have done with being 10 mile further west :D



Atom Sunset by Phil D 245, on Flickr
 
Arrived. I'm parked on the other side of the bridge from the small turbine :)

Edit, moving to the car park under the turbine :)
