Life's a beach - let's go surfing !!


Details
This trip is to the Lost Shores inland artificial surf resort near Ratho. The facility includes on-site accommodation, a waterfront bar, cafe and restaurant, a surf shop, saunas and most importantly Europe's largest wave pool. State of the art technology can generate up to 100 waves per hour making it a surfer's dream. There is plenty of public space and the owner are happy for members of the public to take photos of the surfers honing their skills. We will meet in the cafe in the Canteen opposite reception in the resort (no need to go to reception) before we head out to photograph the action.
After our photography session we will finish off with a drink (and perhaps a bite to eat) at the lovely Canteen (much nicer than it sounds) cafe and bar.
What to bring:
We would recommend bringing a telephoto lens (for illustration the uncropped photo above was taken with a 100-500mm zoom lens at 500mm on a full frame sensor Canon camera)
Travel to and from Rosslyn Chapel
Car:
The Lost Shores (inland) surf Resort is close to the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena near Ratho about 25-30 minutes from Edinburgh. It can be found at EH28 8JT (I recommend that you do not use the postcode mentioned on their website unless you want to visit a housing estate nearby, as I did). There is free parking at the Lost Resort (I suggest turning right after entering the carpark as the resort is off to the right).
If you can offer a lift to others please do post a message in the meetup comments so others can request a lift. I will be driving if anyone would like a lift from the southside of Edinburgh.
Bus:
Unfortunately there aren't really any easy options for getting to the Lost Shores resort by public transport
