Due to engineering works, we will change the itinerary a bit. Instead of sunset from the Royal Observatory, we will walk towards the O2 via the Thames Path. It does not look like a long walk but I am sure we each need a torch on the way back. We aim to be there by 8.50PM so we can shoot the sunset behind Canary Wharf until 9.30PM then we head back to Greenwich and take the DLR to Bank station. We get out and walk around the City.

We head off towards Westminster, Green Park and Leicester Square where we will hunt for food and a place to sit. Depending on where we want to shoot sunrise, we have time since sunrise is at 5.13AM, we stay for half an hour for that.

I will take the new Olympus E-P1 with me so those who want to play with it in between shoots.

On food: We have dinner early and bring a sandwich and drink because there is none available where we are going.

Bring: Camera, tripod, one or two lenses, food, torch and you :D

Starting in Austwick ~9:30-10ish on Saturday 11th July. I suspect that we will inspect Robin Proctor's Scar (it was healing nicely the last time I was there), Norber (erratically) / Nappa Scars, Thieves Moss, Sulber / Sulber Nick and return by Moughton Scar and back through the grassy fields.

I suspect that, if the weather is fine, we will make rather gentle progress and the walk would be ~7-8-9 miles. (I'm happy to extend it with a trip onto the top of Moughton if this is a popular option.)

(After we get back to Austwick. I'm probably going to zoom over to Ribblehead.)

We`ll maybe do a group shot at the start and finish if possible for posterity but anything goes for shots you take on the rest of the walk.

After taking in what you will in Millennium Square the route goes on down past the library and left to the Henry Moore gallery where there is a WW1 veterans event from 10.30. You can get shots of Town Hall / library on way. Then off down Park Row towards station and old post office - look out for building detail on the way. Left along Boar Lane( construction, city church, the Bourse, right at Lower Briggate and then follow the Calls.

A chance to take some pictures of the waterfront and maybe the Armouries at the Bridge there. Then back up Call Lane and a chance to take in the Corn Exchange building before making your way up Vicar Lane, through the Victoria Quarter / County Arcade. Through and up to the Headrow and then on back to the Tiled Hall Cafe in the central library / gallery.

You might want to bring kids / family along for the walk - no worries but photographers have to register with email addresss to get full details and entry to the competition / prize element.

No themes to follow - just your imagination - old and new, reflections, street photography - whatever is your whim. At the cafe there will be a chance to grab a drink / bite to eat and share some of your images on camera.

Tickets cost £10.00 on the door, or £8.50 online (and let you go back as often as you want for a year).

Bletchley Park is surprisingly easily accessible by rail from London, Bedford and Birmingham, so there should be no excuses for anyone not being able to get there.

What is a Big Geek Day Out?

Big Geek Days Out are "unEvents" - one person organises a time and place for people to meet and that's it. Everything else is done by the people coming to the event.

The idea is that there are plenty of places that we'd like to go to, but for whatever reason never get round to visiting. By someone saying "we're going there on this date" it becomes much more likely that you'll actually get off your bum and visit.

So, that's what happens. The organiser says where and when to meet, and you (as someone who's attending) deal with getting there and buying any tickets needed to get into the place we're visiting. When we went to Alton Towers last year, people organised car shares to get themselves there and sourced buy-one-get-one-free tickets for each other.

Of course, whilst the event isn't classically organised it's still good to know who's going to be coming. If you are going to come along, please add yourself
