Brigg Bomber Photos
Just a few photos that I’ve found of myself from the Brigg Bomber Quadrathlon at the weekend. These were posted to Facebook by various people. Thankfully there are none of me on the run as I was looking quite a state by then!

Camper Trip to Lincolnshire
In addition to my first ever Quadrathlon in North Lincolnshire at the weekend we tagged on a family holiday in the Campervan as well.

Soaring Temperatures on the Beach
It’s certainly been hot here the past couple of days. The temperature from the weather station topped out at 27.7ºC yesterday and today that has been beaten with a temperature of 28.1ºC.

New Deep Section Wheels
I’ve only been talking about getting some deep section wheels for my bike for about 6 years! Many a time I have thought I’d take the plunge and get some but never quite did. I have now finally done so. Only the best will do Part of the procrastination was brought about by the fact...

What a lovely day for an early morning surf ski at Ynyslas. The sun was rising in the east, the Moon was setting in the west. The sea was flat calm but there was a fairly strong Easterly wind blowing down the estuary. This is only set to get stronger as Ivor our local katabatic...
