This is my first proper explore so go easy :)

I managed to forget the tripod, so the pictures from my small compact were all very blurry :( But I've done my best with what I've got! I don't know much about the place, though TrouserCowboy covered more than I know in his report.

Onwards! To the pictures :)

15. Just chillaxin :D as you can see proximity is very close to the park & ride! But I had to be cheeky and get this when I saw the chair :D

And that's as much as I have! I took a pano from the roof, but I'll have to take some time and try to stitch the four shots together. Umm, I think that's it! Thanks for looking :)
