  1. A familiar view of Camber Dock in Portsmouth with the MV Victoria of Wight in the distance waiting to sail on the 17:00 departure to Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight. In the foreground, waiting its next sailing is the MV St Claire with the iconic Spinnaker Tower visible to the right, and the Ben Ainslee sailing centre to the left ( or should that be “Starboard” or “Port”)?

  2. A wonderfully cluttered view of Camber Dock in Old Portsmouth! Local fishing vessels jostle with Wightlink ferries against the backdrop of the wonderful Bridge Tavern, Ben Ainslie Sailing Centre and the iconic lipstick shaped Number 1 Gunwharf Quays tower block.

  3. This is the Keep of Guildford Castle in Surrey, South East England, which was established in the 13th Century and was the County Gaol for many years until at least the 18th Century. Although the earthworks remain, many of the castle features have now vanished, but the Keep remains.

  4. Guildford is regarded as the “County Town” of the County of Surrey in South East England. This view is taken from the ruins of Guildford Castle and looks across the town to the Cathedral on Stag Hill around 2 x miles away. Guildford is often mistakenly considered as a city as it has a Cathedral, but although the granting of city status has been applied for in the past, the Royal Warrant has never been given.

    Penalty Miss!

    Aldershot miss a Penalty, but still go on to beat Oldham Athletic 2-0 in the Conference National League! Oldham Athletic were founder members of the Premier League in 1992 but now play 5 x Divisions lower.

    Ryde Pier

    An Island Line Class 484 has just left Ryde Esplanade on the way to meet the ferry at Ryde Pier Head. This unusual view is taken from Union Street in Ryde and shows a wet day across the Solent, but the city of Portsmouth is visible through the rain.

  11. The photographers favourite DMU (158 885) waits at Salisbury for a shunt movement. In the meantime “Cousin” DMU 159 106 has just arrived from London Waterloo. It is difficult to believe these trains are both over 30 x years old now!

  12. A timeless railway scene at Ryde St John’s Road on Island Line.

  13. A “Up” train from Shanklin to Ryde Esplanade on Island Line waits in the February sunshine at Brading for the “Down” train to pass.

  14. Island Line’s 484 003 is waiting for departure time at Brading en route to Shanklin on a February evening.

  15. Wight Ryder I creates a wake behind it on a sailing from Ryde to Portsmouth and seems to be running from the setting Sun over the Isle of Wight!

  16. It was actually 12:25 and I was waiting to meet some colleagues at 12:30. 🙂
  17. A South Western Railway Class 444 Desiro waits at a misty Petersfield Station on an early Morning service to London Waterloo.

  18. 2J53 formed with an unidentified Class 450 Desiro, pulls away toward a “Double Yellow” Signal at Aldershot on its way from Platform 1 to Guildford. In the meantime 2A95 has finished its journey from London Waterloo on Platform 3. The floodlights from Aldershot Town FC can be seen in the distance.

  19. Arguably under the clock at Waterloo Station in London is the most famous meeting place in the World!

  20. The FA Vase is a national competition in England for the lower league teams which culminates in a Final at Wembley. Farnham Town had been favourites to beat Bridgewater United at the Memorial Ground and possibly get to the final. Alas it was not to be as they lost 1-2.

  21. The Sun is seen rising over Fanum House (AA HQ) on a cold January morning in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England.

  22. The New Moon is visible next to the tower block of Fanum House in Basingstoke, Hampshire at Dawn. Fanum House is the HQ of the Automobile Association (The AA) in the United Kingdom.

  23. The “Great Oak” is an iconic Petersfield landmark which now sits between a hotel of the same name and a branch (no pun intended) of McDonalds. The setting sun is seen between the branches setting across the South Downs at Butser Hill.
