Seaside location

[Beans]

The place looked familiar and I was sure it was Poole Park in Dorset. My girlfriend also thought it was the same place (totally unprompted by me). A few months ago we were down that way and had a look around for the location. We couldn't find it so decided to drive back home and suddenly we spotted the place. It was in fact just outside of Poole Park to the east. After having used that location almost exclusively on the simulator and put in a lot of hours, it was extremely spooky to stand in the actual spot.

Here's the spot.

Has anyone else recognised any of the other locations?

Is the area to the North West of there (near the boating lake on the map) the lakeside scenery? Kind of looks familiar with that curved path that I keep taxiing my fixed wing models off of and into the drink.

They do a lot of kite and wind surfing here and the pinsula is one of the most expensive places in the world.. to own a house or anything.. one house recently sold on Sandbanks for 11 million quid....
