(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z250/BikerGran_photos/Gurston%20Down%20220615/DSCF0017.jpg) In the paddock (http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z250/BikerGran_photos/Gurston%20Down%20220615/DSCF0018.jpg) It's easier to catch them coming back down the hill than on the way up - till you get your eye in!

In a break in the racing I noticed something moving about in the field, I thought it was a dog but the power of the telephoto revealed - a hare!

Marshalling point - there'd be no motor sport without these people, all volunteers!

Stix Title: Re: Gurston Down tomorrow Post by: BikerGran on June 22, 2015, 08:33:31 PM Yeah I loved the little A35 - used to drive one of those! But I have to say I really loved the Dodge Corona - I couldn't catch it with the camera but the driver wore a huge 'ten gallon' hat!
It was a great afternoon in lovely weather and glorious scenery too, with lots of interesting cars -what more could anyone want? Oh yes, an ice cream would have made it perfect but the ice cream van was missing! Title: Re: Gurston Down 21 June 2015 Post by: Manky Monkey on June 22, 2015, 09:24:13 PM Maybe he was doing the circuit too?
fabulous photos Bobbi. I wonder if that's the same Volvo Amazon that was at the Basingstoke show? Love the mark 2 Jag & of course the Dodge. ;D Title: Re: Gurston Down 21 June 2015 Post by: BikerGran on June 22, 2015, 09:41:12 PM Every car there was worth a phot, but if you try to catch them all you don't really see anything! I used to go to Gurston a coup[le of times a year - it must be only about 30 miles - but somehow I haven't been for years! Must try and make a habit of it.
Title: Re: Gurston Down 21 June 2015 Post by: Manky Monkey on June 22, 2015, 10:08:21 PM Know what you mean Bobbi -it's very easy to end up viewing your life through a camera lens -enjoy the moment & you'll have memories to look back on instead.
