Harbours any good to you mate?

[notenuphstuph]

I'm trying to aviod that as it's already been done, A delapidated or condemed building would be good,or abandoned wharehouse/industrial unit.

[Si_steve]

The old shipyard is good if you can get your car there, http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&am...

[notenuphstuph]

I'll check it out, it looks promising....Cheers bud

[Si_steve]

No problems mate, Its pretty tricky to get a good spot around it but I used to live on that road so know the area extremly well.


ETA you could try this bit providing its still clear, I will pop down tomorrow and have a look. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&am...

I was going to say. Try Glen Moray - surely if you ask nicely and don't do it when they are busy it wouldn't be too much of a problem?

Can you still get into Milton Airfield?

failing that i know you can get into the one at Spey Bay

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&a...

Spey Bay itself is pretty good

Spey bay runways are now recycling centre's etc You can get to the old tower.

OH took these when we had a wander round the bottom half of the runways

Pics look like Dallachy, my cousin taught me how to do clutchless gear changes on a Ford Anglia in the sixties when I was 12. I taught my own two how to drive there when they were just kids.
Another cousin still lives in Buckpool. My late Grandad had a drifter fishing boat at Port Gordon, lived acros the road from the harbour and I was christened at Enzie North. (I know, it's the Crematorium now).

[Si_steve]

Spot on, I also learned to drive my first car there, a frontera. this was Before it was turned into the recycling centre. My grandparents are also from Portgordon, they had a trawler which was registered aberdeen but usually berthed at Buckie. Was supposed to be mine by now but the industry went tits up before it happened.

[notenuphstuph]

This is exactly what i'm looking for, so now i just have to wait for a miserable overcast grotty day (WONT HAVE LONG TO WAIT THEN !!!!!!) i'll take a drive out for a rekky one night, is ther easy access to this area for a low slung car?, i dont want to cause the old girl any grief or trauma!.. Thanx.......Si steve
