Access to Devils Tooth - Update

Managed to speak to someone who lives opposite on eof the entrances to Devils Tooth who mentioned he sees gardeners entering the site.

Gibraltar from the Sea

I've managed to convice a colleague at work to take me on a trip round Gib on a fishing boat next week, weather permitting.

Hope its stable, probably down a box of "Sealegs" before I get onboard.

Garry mentioned that original exposures might have taken around 20mins.

How did they manage to photograph for the period of time while on a boat that is swaying with the swell?

Old Mole - Devil's Tongue

Devil's tooth + Devil's Gorge

As a child I used to play in the Devil's Tooth area, was known as the "Rolli Camp". It was a geat place for a kid in Gib, full of wildlife and greenery without having to walk up to the Upper rock. Was also a great shortcut to get to camp bay.
