Summer Gala
Saturday 24th July 2004
We certainly picked the best day regarding the weather for my first visit to the GC this year.
Also tried some new vantage points this time including the ever popular 'Kinchley Lane Bridge'! we must have walked miles
The GC isn't an easy line to access without a photographic pass, but anyway we got some reasonable shots!
