G decided that he simply had to go to Brands Hatch about a month ago. There was no two ways about it! So he hired a car and off we went! Driving all the way to Kent! Road Trip…
Quite a sweet little car. You tap your special card against the card reader in the windscreen and the car unlocks. You get the key out of the glove compartment and go, go, go!
We packed in our cameras and a lunch, and headed off.
Only to discover that it needed petrol! Which you put in yourself!
But we made it alright. Nuvi got us a little lost at the end, but it was quite straightforward with all the signage 🙂
Look at all those fancy people all the way up there, enjoying the racing.
It was a beautiful day, and the track was quite nice too. I must say, I got home and went through my pictures… didn't take many pictures of the cars though!
It was so freeeeeeeezing cold but sunny too, bizarre combination.
The track is very loopy loopy, but I liked the long, sweeping loops best. And the ground was teeming with beautiful rocks!
See?
The nicest loop on the track.
Here are some cars for you, those of you who are interested. This is the equivalent of G's Clubman Division back home. They were also racing Lotuses, very pretty cars that zooooooom. We had a good laugh at the racing here: if a car even looks like it's about to go slightly off track, the others all go slowly, pull away, get out of the way of other cars, and the drivers almost tip their hats and spill their tea. They're most civil. Wouldn't last a second at Killarney!
And as usual, I found some trees to photograph. Lauriane, I see some interesting blow-art in this. Think straws and waterpaints. I dare you.
It got really cold and the clouds were really spectacular! The colours were amazing, and they heightened the colours down on the fields and the track as well. Made for some nice photos! I'll get G to upload some of his as well so you can see.
As you can see, the new lenses had very good use! He took lots of very good pictures. Which reminds me, he still has to upload his photo competition pictures! Yes, I'll remind him right now.
I like this picture best!
We left before the end of the day — you pay for the car by the hour so we had to get it back to it's parking spot before the charges run up ridiculously!
