Shaftesbury Abbey Project.


Our second visit to Shaftesbury Abbey and Museum in July.
At 08:30am sharp, we set up our mast in the grounds of the Abbey. The weather was cloudy at first but soon changed sunny. We managed twp positions taking photographs of the ruined Abbey and the Herb garden. Hot cup of coffee and we was packing up our equipment and heading towards to the museum.
Pity we couldn’t see the Gold Hill from where we set up the mast. The sun was shining and we took some lovely photographs of the museum and the surrounding buildings. Packed up and burned off the disc before 10am. Walking back to the car I handed out brochures to the local estate agents.
