South-West England Poppies in Dorset/Wiltshire/Hampshire

[keety]

Anyone seen any? I've found one here just outside Upavon in Wiltshire https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2...R_25_zW0NCYqTEi9pD5Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en which is even on google street view! Must be there every year

Nice one, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I haven't found any yet - there seems to be a few in Dorset though. Blandford comes up a lot.

THink I've found some through a guy at work Just outside Salisbury, will confirm tonight!

 

[sandboxmagician]

Awesome, will keep a look out.

Did you park in that little lay-by you can see in that google streetview? It's just under an hour away from me which is a bit annoying but I'm desperate for some poppy action.

 

[keety]

Yeah, where do you live? Apparently there are a few fields around Blandford Forum as well..

Looks like Stu Meecham went there last week for sunrise....

I'm in Southampton. Not entirely convinced by the weather tonight but it's only going to get worse this week..

Going to check out a field tonight that will be 30 mins from you (I'm in Romsey)

 

[sandboxmagician]

Nice one, sounds good. I work in Romsey!

Did you get to check the field out?
(I'm also nearby, in Chandlers Ford)

I wouldn't bother with the field that was near Blandford - I visited a few weeks ago and it was way past its best even then.

I did spot a very nice field of poppies right next to the Stonehenge Visitor Centre last weekend. Not much in the way of points of interest around it though.
