H Half
A mini-trip: Loughborough and Nottingham to watch H in his first half marathon and raising funds for Movember đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť. Great fun!
The gap
Looking across to the gap from Hawker's Cove. Imagine this moving while listening to Coldplay.
Padstow, high tide at the outer harbour
The end of a long, downer of a week. Dragged myself out for the last of the daylight. Result.
Running to Hawker's
The top of the hill, now heading down.
Nearly back to town, with noone watching the ferry.
Padstow Reflecting
Editors note: does this make your eyes go funny too? The image is flipped so it's upside down, which makes your brain think that you're looking up to the boats, and that doesn't make sense because for that to be up you'd need to be under water.
Dog walk wading
At what point does a walk become a wade?
[Ed: don't ever enter flood water, it's dangerous. The RNLIs Flood Rescue Manual has a section on the study of water and hazards that explains why.]
2024 Floods Three
January blues beating idea: let's ride a loop along the river and see what's happening. First stop Shillingford.
Boats surrounded.
A little bit of flow through the arches.
But if you look downstream it just looks, well, "full".
After a near miss heading to Benson the road through Crowmarsh Battle looked sketchy.
Wallingford was looking damp too.
In some spots the river is now several fields wide.
2024 Floods Two
Yup, it got worse over night.
"Wow" said Ewok. I have to admit that he did look a little shocked.
Yes. Lake Gerald is back
Yogi on fire
...enjoying the glow in the evening sun.
(I had turn the vibrance down on this one. I know, no no filter.)
