There are more in the collection link at the top with some titles, I'm too tired/bad with names to comment on them all. Feel free to help me out :) or post your own comments heh.

Great photos Bettus, quality of camera shows - quality of the shots goes without saying!

[Brettus]

Thanks Lucky,
I'm still learning with the new camera so its still far better than I am but I'm always impressed with the end results.

Need to get used to taking more people pictures, most of the people I'm normally with are intensely camera shy so its nice to not have them running for cover when I point the camera that way :)

was an excellent day out and the scenery around the reservoirs was stunning, despite the weather being a bit nodescript.

[Specialone]

Great pics Brett, the buzzard one is awesome considering the distance.
Thanks for helping me realise i'm looking older, i was a bit horrified how old i look, especially when just before i looked at them, the wife had been showing our wedding photos from '99 to our friends who came round last night.
I'm absolutely gutted as well, first lunge and im hiding behind Daryl not ready and not in full lunge :(
While the wife does her pilates exercises i need to do some lunge work for next time ;).
I hope the lunge photo Daryl's mrs took at the visitor centre is better.
Oh, Loving the shot of our 3 sv's in a row, any chance i could get a copy of that mate please.

No problem, you can also get a full size copy from flickr, just go to the pic, click all size and you can choose original. For ease I'll link you HERE (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brettnet/3934958440/sizes/o/in/set-72157622411358704/) but just for future reference :)

Any pics I post online are fair game the way I see it. Feel free to grab any you like, a quick mention saying you like them is always appreciated though ;)

That engine shot makes up for it though, I only got distant shots of it.

and touche re the bike in bits quip :) will definitely make sure I am doubly sure of any messing I do in future, especially before a rideout, doh!

Great pics Bev! :D

[Ed]

It's a fantastic place... really getting high on the view.

[Brettus]

Cool, glad someone was taking pics of the actual people :) not bad, we managed to get lots of pics considering there were only 6 bikes (8 people) on the ride :)

Heres the reverse of Bev's shot of me:

What a place, really good day out, can't wait to go back some day with nice light and indulge my photographical side a little more :)

Thanks for doing the IDs on mine Lucky, I'm hopeless at names and I've slept since then ;)

Its a cool place, ive been going there probably 25 + years.
We probably only seen 50% of whats there.
There are some old slate mine buildings etc which is pretty cool.
Devils bridge is worth seeing.
I would defo be up for a more in depth tour one weekend.
Im getting together all my crap in the house to put on flea bay for my D90 fund:), so hopefully have a decent camera to take there next time.
