Not even that - it takes me less than 5 minutes to drive from one side of the city to the other every morning.
I'd like to recommend the road that goes under the Tamar Bridge, but there's not a huge amount of parking there.
Or you could ask the company running bovisand fort if you can use their stone piers.

Ah, that's true, I'll have a think before I stick my name down! Would love to do this but might be a bit too far!
4pm is too late at this time of year imo. It's going to be cold anyway but considerably colder in the evening and dark within an hour.
What about the TR2 building out at cattedown? Plenty of room for parking and not a bad backdrop with the TR2 logo for single car shots? Id suggest meeting at the latest of 2pm though personally.

Yeah, I was trying to post a link to that thread in my last post but it wasn't having any of it.

Yeah, 2pm's a better time lol

Well I have been totally ignored now by the people who wanted this shoot, but we shall still meet as I want this to happen as I can see it will turn out very well
As you all agree 2pm is better then it shall be 2pm as I was happy whatever the time
I'm going to still put something together for PFC as my camera and prob a few others cameras coming will be shooting in high res so that's more than good enough for them to put in.
(I have an "OK" tripod everyone can use if they want a go with it)
I'm also liking the bridge shot so that will be a good location for some photos, I also hear there's Christmas lights in Plymouth soon so maybe incorperate them in somehow?
But I think a few locations would be good and pref with ability to take group shots there as well (maybe one multistorie or undercover place Incase of bad weather)
Could the people with local knowledge of plymouth post up a few sites with a google maps link so i can/ others can check it out and then I shall finally confirm the locations and get this sorted
Sorry this has come to me asking for help but I have been totally let down after such a big build up and interest for this to happen
Next year I think I'm gonna miss these people out and go straight to the top!

The location of the V6 shots is on a locked site, you'll need to contact the company operating Fort Bovisand (Discovery divers? It's a dive company) to get access.
If it works, here's a link to the bridge shot location. Dropped Pin
Other locations are Mountbatten Pier, Staples carpark in Charles Cross, and Queen Anne's Battery (2 hour limit though) and possibly Devil's Point (but probably too busy). There's also RAF Harrowbeer up in Yelverton and Cadover Bridge.

Well photos with water are easy round here 
It's all abit flooded
What's the drakes circus car park like? I'm guessing we would have to pay for that where as staples is free to drive in (its the one I use)
The lights are in a pedestrianised area (I think) , although we might be able to get some cars up, but probably a fair amount of people around.
Could try a group bridge shot off the a38? All cars going down the dual carriage way
Bit of a drive out, but one of the beaches like wembury?
Well PFC still haves week to get their arses into gear

Mall carpark is alright tbh apart from the fact you have to pay.
How about multiple locations? Shoot at one, convoy to the next. (be awesome to convoy through the barbican and then up round the seafront!)

Chance to get some "moving" shots kinda thing as well, if anyone is any good with a camera and can make those kinda shots
Iv'e seen cars parked up on the Hoe, but that was for an event, is it possible to get close there, near the lighthouse or something like that?
Bit of a trek, but the Burrator Resovoir any good?

I've already asked about getting access to the promenade.
1. There's a fee
2. The council's very fussy, oil must not be dropped etc, plus there's public liability lumped onto you.
Burrator's alright too.

Can we get pics parked next to a princess?
Can you still get into ferryport or is it being developed now?
Old meet from corsa days
Pics from the TR2 building I mentioned
Personally I'd avoid city centre/drakes/toys r us at this time of year + you have to pay to get out and they have security etc.
Terri from PFC lives in plymouth so I know I can drag her out even if it means picking her up

ok been looking at the city center and its gotta be a no go as it just seems too busy and on a shopping day before Christmas its asking for trouble lol.
but as we have a few locations in mind where will be the best place to meet up and get everyone together? (somewhere a little easy for people who aint too sure of the place)

I have given this abit of thought. The way I see it, there are 3 options
1 - Meet in one area for pics, eg the Drake Circus main car park - this would require a ticket at the rate £1 per hour.
2 - Use a couple of locations, some being weather dependent, with abit of a drive between - possibly just trying an area to see if there is some space or if its any good, but 2/3 definate decent enough locations.
3 - Make more of a day of it, as some people will be travelling a fair distance, and pick up on the other idea in the 'Meet ideas thread'. Taking some pics in the morning in predefined locations, and then have a drive up Dartmoor or something. Stopping along the top as there are some decent parking places where you can grab some photos. Just to make it abit more interesting.
Of course it does all come down to what commitments people have and what they feel like doing.

No. 3 FTW. May even plan a route
SJM'd197'dBTM'd 182
Well you could do, but hey we all have heaters and a coat! - its not like we are using motorbikes :rasp:
Weather plays a massive part regardless really, its Plymouth! I've been here for 3 months and maybe about 1 week has inluded blue skies and sun - the rest is clouds and rain! - And thats one thing we cant prepare for, just have 2 or 3 plans to try and work, and be prepared to be flexible.
I was just going on the part that SW is a large area, and it wont be that often that we all get together, and if people are willing to travel 2 hours or so to come, well, if it was me I would like to do more than just stand around taking photos for a couple of hours (not thats it not fun) but it adds something else to the day, so people have more of a reason to make the journey.
And it gives us more of a time together, to meet different people and chat etc - that was the thinking behind it.
If a few of us want to do it, then we can, I was just putting it out there incase we wanted to build in more time for different things.
Its just ideas

If anybody fancies going a tad further and wants a drive this is a route I set up for another club
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?sadd...hFkktJgbA&t=h&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=14&via=1&z=11
Basicly meet at route 38 diner (trulefoot, cornwall) for breakfast, up through liskeard over to tavi, back to plymouth.
I'm sure that somebody knows of somewhere for photos on this route, about 40 miles of driving.

It would be nice if people would come, but understandable if they don't. The only implication doing something like this, is timing, just means we may have to meet earlier etc for the pics if some would like to do a drive in the afternoon, so we can make the most of the daylight.
Was thinking about routes something like this
http://goo.gl/maps/CXjOo
http://goo.gl/maps/1JidQ
Just ideas, I know they may be abit long, but some sections are great fun, if there is no traffic and animals on the road Gets more twist as you get closer to Exeter, but that may be abit to far.
They dont have to be circular if people dont want to sit on the a38, or detour to a reservoir or river along the way
Who would be up for something like this?
