Lovely. Where do you stay, in the car park?

It’s a lovely beach but you have to leave the carpark by 8.30pm. There are a few campsites nearby.

I thought that was the case, wanted to check in case you’d found a beach view overnight hack!

Last week at Killerguer looking at Islay. Was spotless when we left home but rained from Norwich to Gretna before sunshine for 9 days. This aircraft arrived when on Lochranza site on Arran - amazing pilot landed on golf tee beside road to attend someone on campsite who suffer heart attack. First responder in village attended within 10 mins and used defib, ambulance within 25 mins and the air ambulance 5 mins later - sadly nothing could be done even though response was incredibly swift considering location.

You didn't happen to be on Arran around 16 - 19th Sept? I recall seeing an Ascot Grey and also a Fortana Red Cali while we were there - the red followed us onto Kintyre as well.

That’s amazing. Very fast response. I was in Cambridge and they were saying 3 hours for an ambulance whilst I was having major HA and after 3 hours I was unresponsive.
Bloke from the hotel got me into his car and drove me to addenbrooks, 45 minutes later on the slab in Papworth receiving two stents.

I'm qualified first aid trainer and wife is nurse and trainer tutor and we were both v impressed. Had we been closer at the time then it may well have been us using defib and CPR. We support East Anglian Air Ambulance as my duaghter in law is manager their and I know 2 of the dr's well. I raised £1k 2 years ago on 24 mile sponsored walk. They are soon to have a new base at Cambridge built of Anglia 2 - Anglia 1 constantly passes over us on way down A11. Must admit how that pilot landed so quick at Lochranza was amazing. Normally they circle 4 times to decide on landing spot but this guy half circled and plonk down he came v quick; impressive. We knew outcome wasn't good when heli took off and ambulance was still there. Poor guy - he was there four the week with his 2 dogs; police took dogs to local kennels while waiting for his wife to come from other side of Scotland...... I do hope you are ok; can't believe how long you waited. My late elderly mother had a fall in early March and ambulance was at her home within 20 mins of the 999 call by neighbour!!

Thanks, I recovered well.
Really well.
My Troponin levels when tested maxed out over 25’000.
So I was very lucky. Very very lucky.
Had 1 of the top heart surgeons in the world do my procedure, through the wrist.
Glad they didn’t have to go in via the groin. But had a free shave down there

Lovely campsite, terraced down to the beach. Just east of Llanes.

Thought I’d have one last try at getting a shot of the Milky Way this year before the season ends, so I drove down to Milford on Sea in my FILTHY Cali on Thursday night. It’s also slightly out of focus and too dark to see The Needles - darn it!

That's a nice image! What equipment do you normally use? I have done this many years ago on my 15 year old canon. Been wanting to try some again.

Thanks. I use a Nikon Z6ii with a 20mm f1.8 lens.

I’m very much still learning this frustrating (always cloudy) and antisocial hobby (nipping out in the dark for hours).

I’m sure your 15yr old Canon is still well up to the job - loads of megapixels aren’t necessarily your friend for Nightscape, just a fast lens and tripod. Even smartphones too.

Overnight next to the Charente near Angouleme. Lovely quiet spot.

Bilbao. Possibly the best view we’ve had anywhere near a city.

Heading North towards Caen, we did stop (a safe distance away) but the owner was remarkably sanguine and declined our offer of help, emergency services were on the way.

I know Peugeots were renowned for electrical problems…
