I have serious spinal and neck problems and have had to resort to a shoulder pod for more stability but still not that many good shots i'm afraid. I was wondering if it would pay me to s...

Re: A very quite day at Donna Nook

Hi Pete, two lovely shots there guess it was a good job you went when you did. I was lucky to get a shot of the 25year one last year I think it was.

Re: Donna Nook 17th June

Wonderful shots you got from the day out at the range, luv the one of the tornado with the moon in shot. It was a fantastic day out, especially getting to speak to the lads training.

Thanks for posting, dad.
