Adam Banks Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Before leaving for NZ (nearly 20 yrs ago now!), this beautiful valley was my home: just east of Stroud, Gloucestershire ... called "The Golden Valley" due to its stunning autumn colouring. Chalford is almost alpine in nature and as steep as many villages in the south of France. Aston Down, where I used to go gliding, is now (finally!) modelled in P3D - thanks to TEGB ... It's a shame TEGB does neither Cotswold stone nor autumn - but at least it's summer all the year round, which is how I like to remember it! Adam.

Rodger Pettichord Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Adam, these shots really bring your home scenery alive. I can smell the freshness of the green and feel the coolness of the air. Looks to me like a glider is the perfect choice for the region. Thanks for sharing memories and a nice flight!

Lovey lush area and super caps Adam... Just wondering, do the trees change with the season? so you can have autumn (& spring/winter) trees?... Maybe with a bit of PTA tweaking you could get a good approximation of other seasons, apart from hard winter snow.... Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 superb shots, I regularly drive around that area (work) and love Nailsworth...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I think I could be very happy living there with those forests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Wonderful views but an area I don't know at all. We are lucky being able to fly around our old stomping ground in such great detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've found with GBNorth, memories, long submerged, are floating back to the surface - beautiful shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 4 days I have spent about 5 hrs shovelling the "White Stuff". Please Adam , don't take on board Mark's Excellent suggestion -- I won't be able to look at your superb screenshots again until summer really comes if that happens and that truly would be a shame Cheers R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
