Kielder Autumn 2008 Pictures

[PhillyDee]

Thought Id start one of these off . . I have a couple of pics . . Hope the weather didnt get any worse for anyone there. Considering the first night it was down to -4 and the second night was torrential rain, I still enjoyed the first night skies. Saw plenty of shooting stars, and 2 freaky weather events. The first being lightning with no thunder, the second being rain, with NO clouds . . . . .

Nice lake, We we camped the opposite side where the gap was.

Yes, the ducks were feeding in the tyre ruts. Im guessing they were after the worms. The river was too fast for them.

That was my tent (+ my brother) and my 2 little scopes.

At least you got one decent night though!

Shame about the weather though

[Sam]

mmmm... might have to pack a boat if I go to this one next year!

Glad you got some good views though!

[SteveL]

Yes, it got a little nippy!

The bridge of death, caught out many a person in the middle of the night (note: alcohol may have been involved in such incidents!)

Ian's outdoor pool, which handily converted into an ice rink the next day

A couple of panorama images from the observatory (click on the images for the HUGE versions!)

The local friendly Ducks were quite mad.

I must admit that I had a scan of the 'specials' board in the Arms.

Thankfully, Duck wasn't on the menu.

The outside and inside of our car was like the above frozen pic. Luckily, Me and Allison were saved from death by ice.

blumming beer was a bit iffy in the morn tho. :nono:

Thank God for good quality sleeping bags !

What are those little Igloo thingies. Do they hire them out, they look habitable if a bit small.
