2014-09-05 WNKRRCNTs go to the seaside...

Cheers @Rod_Munch for leading us with such aplomb. Knees really feeling it on ride home. Got back in about an hour & had some lunch then shower followed by long soak in a hot bath (1st one for about a year). Then a quick doze & woke up 5 hrs later. Only have 1 or 2 pics which I'll post later - left camera on macro so they're all blurred. Teach me for not not using my specs!

There is something strangely hyper-real about that second pic, can't work out where it was taken from

KT stopped at a sharp corner in the beach-hut path as we ploughed on, drawn by the lure of breakfast. So the path does a sharp right just where she's standing, then another sharp left to carry on into shot.

Pause at Walton-on-naze

This is not a teacake. Those are teacakes.

Ceci ce n'est pas un teacake ...

Contrary to appearences in my first pic, Mr Munch is not actually urinating onto the beach.

I've been wondering how much interest there would be in something like this
I FOLLOWED LUDWIG

Does it need to have something to show what happens if you follow Ludwig?

;)

I'm very envious of you lot. I went out into the garden last night at midnight and it was totally still and perfectly quiet under the light of the full moon. If it was anything like that on Friday night you must have had absolutely perfect conditions.

The cameras are supposed to be averted during a natural break!

Thanks very much to all those in attendance. Although we may be unlikely to have such good fortune with the logistics of weather, company and timing in the future this ride did make me realise that we really should do this sort of thing more often - or at least confirmed that KT was dead right to cajole us into doing this one!

FWIW I managed to stay awake until 7pm, at which point I thought "I'll just lie down for a second..." - next thing I knew it was 7am. Perfect :)

That one looks pretty unscrewed; or was it the veggies?

Great ride.

Fell asleep in a bar in Aldgate East near 1 A.M.

Yes, more deluxe please.

I think I win the crap photographer prize...

I'm a little drunk (5'7" and a half so not that little really) so I really can't work out how the tenses in that last sentence should work. Did you all understand what I was trying to say?

There was nothing wrong with that sentence. You were probably too drunk to notice that there wasn't a problem. :)

Route sheet and this and you will be fine.

You could combine both.

I've been wondering how much interest there would be in something like this:
I FOLLOWED LUDWIG

You could always set 'LUDWIG' in a vertical line, which would make it both macabre and unjustified, not to mention deeply unappealing to non-Christians and Christians alike. :)

I went out into the garden last night

Must be quite some garden if you can get a ride in there.

He is nearly not kaputt anymore. You are very unupdated.

No, I had no idea. Sorry to hear that, Pete. As for being un-updated, I've been away and while I'm a bit lost without the User CP, anyway, my motherboard died last week, too. (Fixed now.)

NO! I won't have it! Mine were much worse. The only one that wasn't completely out of focus was this - (the rest were taken on macro setting)
