I have to go down to Bangor in just over a week's time to pick someone up
(hard up student!). I have one day down there and want to try and finish
off photographing the outstanding war graves at a few churchyards /
cemeteries. I have not decided which to do yet and I obviously have limited
time. I think it would be best to concentrate on the those with just a few
left and especially if I can get some directions to their locations (I have
been to them all previously and not been able to find these).
I have listed them below, I wonder if anyone has the MIs and give me some
directions on any of these. I can usually do them quite fast with a plan or
some direction but otherwise you spend hours and still not find one elusive
one!
