Out around Aberlady Bay and Gullane beach today on the Moonlander along with friend Andy on his Salsa Mukluk.
It has been one windy week and there was still a strong westerly today.
Were getting close to the lowest tides of the year, this mornings low tide was only 1 meter at 10.10am.
We were out at the Peffer estuary having ridden across the bay of the nature reserve at 11am and the Peffer burn was as low as i have ever seen it here...
After the winch out into the gale it was a tailwind assited blast back towards the WW2 Midget sub wrecks, Andy produced a hip flask and we had a wee nip of Glenmorangie, bliss -:)
Conrods from the Gardner diesel engine that propelled the 4 man sub on the surface, it was the same engine as fitted to London buses!...
S.E of the wrecks this chassis has reappeared...
Friend Gary photographed it recently. Sure i posted this way back in the early days of the blog, but it has not surfaced for a while. I have been told there is the remains of a Ford model T out here, could this be it?...
Note the wooden runner board, was it once one of these?...
Kite surfers and windsurfers were out along the coast as we rode down Gullane Beach and through some of the trails in the pine woods...
I did some film with the Tachyon XC sports camera, it is in SD 4:3 ratio
Song is by Norwegian eletronic artist Skatebard, `Vuelo` (2007)
Gutted I couldn't make this one. Will have my own fat wheels rolling soon though.
