Return to the WW2 XT Class Submarine wrecks

 


Back out on the Fatbikes and parked up at Dirleton we cycled along to Gullane zig zag out a brutal strong westerly wind to Gullane, I have been meaning to investigate this thick wire rope that has appeared in the dunes at Archerfied...


This is definitely off a military vehicle and there was tanks along with other vehicles here in WW2 when the Estate was requisitioned by the War Office for Army training...



Across up on Gullane we cycle through the Reserve and soaked up the splendid views...


Before winching out across the sands into the brutal headwind...




The subs are disappearing every year as they are slowly corroding away and dissolving with the salt water and winter storms, but always good to go see them again...








Another big sky day in the Shire!




With loads of film and pics done we enjoyed an easy tail wind assisted cruise back to Archerfield, a great day out on the Fatbikes...

Wee film, music by C.H.R.I.S.T.    CHRIS T
