What was your day like?

[Chas]

One of my passions is railways and in particular narrow gauge. I went to an exhibition of model narrow gauge live steam locomotives:

The Castle and St Giles Cathedral:

Then I moved on to Stirling.
Stirling Castle is in a strategic position to defend the South from the Highlanders living in the snow capped hills to the North:

Stirling Catle: Hundreds of years ago this was attacked by brave (foolhardy) souls armed with little more than bows and arrows:

Very nice Chas. I did a little exploring around the Firth of Forth years ago.I remember coming across the ruins of Rosyth Castle not far from the dockyard. Not a soul around,very relaxing.
We spent most of our time in Scotland in Faslane which is not really that far from Stirling Castle but for whatever reason I never went there. Faslane is located on the upper end of the Firth of Clyde.That was back when Oberon class diesel boats kept things real.
Thanks for sharing

Wow how do I share something without going there? I also visited ruins in bacolod city but will it was ruind and things there was very hystorical. So how can I chatch up with you guy? Its a nice place to be there Scotland a nice place for hystorical age of war. Can we go to bows and arrows, during that time bows depend the army I think by targeting the object. I was shock by the picture it was nice and chas is really a traveler so does smiley..I hope the next time you travel you gonna bring me.

Hi Smiley. I am glad the photos brought back memories. If everything goes to plan my walking the South West Coast Path will see me reach Plymouth in October. Did you ever dock in Devonport? I will of course share more photos, there is no escape

Hi Lyrehc, you must be having quite an adventure if you are in Egypt. I have never been there. I doubt you get much free time, but I hope you get to see the Pyramids of Giza just outside Cairo (please post some photos). I understand there is a Museum in Cairo with some stunning ancient Egyptian relics (more photos?). I think it was you who posted a nice photo of the ruined house near Bacolod in the Photo Quiz. I expect you are feeling homesick. I am sure you are a fun person to travel with. If I ever get so weak I need a photo assistant to carry my camera gear on my travels I will give you a call, I hope you are strong as those lenses weigh a ton

Have fun everybody

Never in Devonport, but I was very impressed with Dartmouth and its well preserved History.I had a large scrumpy at an amazing place called the Cherub.It has been a Public House since some time in the 1300's.
Most of our time alongside was in Faslane Scotland and HMS Dolphin across the harbor from Portsmouth England.
We were,I believe, the first submarine to visit Manchester. While transiting the canal we had to remain at harbor stations. I remember it being pretty much an all day affair.

It is a few years since I was last in Dartmouth. The Cherub is still there and waiting to serve you another pint of scrumpy. My coast path walk will reach Dartmouth in late 2016 or early 2017 depending how much time my friends and I can devote to it. We restart at Lizard Point in a couple of weeks for a couple of weeks.

A submarine up the Manchester Ship canal, that must have been quite a trip.
