Back in 'Nam



Dagenham that is.

Found this pic by Jellyhead of a session from a few years ago.
I think this is the session when I got a parking ticket at Dagenham then went to the Rom and slammed in the pool on the first run hurting my wrist.

L-R Me, Dave The Bass, Craigee, Oliver, TonyB, Symo, Dave Bunton.

My legs are very white aren't they?

I Used To Be Into Tractors...







...Yeah I guess you could call me an ex-tractor fan.

Actually I'm not really that into tractors, but there was an exhibition of vintage tractors at Wisley Gardens which is just down the road from Chez Mullet.

Rising Damp?




Couple of houseboats I snapped with my phonecamera whilst out for a bike ride last week.

Hawk & Friends

Last Wednesday saw me down at Brighton for the Hawk & Friends Quiksilver Tour thing.

I was in two minds whether to take a camera or not, glad I did though.

Project Skatepark Photos Round 2

Been out and about again snapping away.

Lakeview, Woking

Never knew this was here, have driven past many times, think I'll carry on driving past in the future.











Goldsworth Park Mini








Strange but true fact: You can see the lake from Goldsworth Mini but not from Lakeview.


Leg O'Mutton Field, Cobham











Mill Park, Bracknell

Had read that this had been closed down due to vandalism, unfortunately it's open again

Dunwich Dynamo

Back in 1993 I found myself riding the 1st Dunwich Dynamo, a 200km overnight bike ride from the now defunct Eastway Cycle Circuit in Hackney Marsh out to the lost city of Dunwich on the Suffolk coast.

A surreal experience, cycling through the night trying to follow the route which was on a photocopied A4 sheet, you were only given the route to the 1st checkpoint where you had your card stamped and were then given the route to the next one and so on.
Passing a rave deep in the Essex countryside, I don't know who was more surprised ravers or cyclists. Cycling into the rising sun of dawn. Breakfast on the clifftops and coaches home for us and the bikes piled high in pantechnicon's (good word that)

This is the flyer for the 2nd one the following year.








The 18th one is this weekend coming.

I didn't do the 2nd one but instead did an overnighter with the London Cycle Campaign on their Summer Solstice ride from London Fields to somewhere that escapes me. Although I remember we ended up in an orchard of a large house and all piled onto the train back to London, hundreds of bikes stuffed into the carriages much to the bemusement of passengers getting on further down the line. .

Project Skatepark Photos

Well since I'm not working these days I thought I'd keep myself busy and keep myself sane and at the same time help out Baldy with Sk8loc8 and take some photos of some local skateparks.

That Damn Elusive... Sha-a-dow




Popped over to see Dad today as he's just bought a fisheye the same as mine. Well I say the same but it's identical apart from his a Samyang and mine is a Falcon, actually the exact same lens is sold under the name of Vivitar and Bower too.

Anyway stuck some photos on a data stick to show him, he decided tweak this one of Jellyhead for me to remove the shadows. Thanks Dad.
