Saturday; Coast, Cake and Aeroplanes...

Saturday was East Fortune Airshow day. Friend Ritchie made the  2 hour drive from Newcastle for a day on our coast. Jason rode along to my house on his Pugsley and we took Ritchie with his Moonlander to Seacliff and its wee harbour - the smallest commercial harbour in the world...

Riding to the coast...

First picture of TWO Surly Moonlanders in Scotland -:) ...

I have not ridden the Moonlander for a month and it has been sitting in the living room wooing me to take it out. In the right terrain the Moonlander shines and it is amazing on rocks with loads of grip from the bigger tyres. A Pugsley will ride over nearly everything a Moonlander will, but the moonie makes it that bit easier and you can do that bit extra with its increased float and grip...

Short film riding rocks on the Moonlander, Go pro makes it look a lot flatter than it is...

I never took any pics as we rode to Tyninghame but had the Go Pro filming, from Tyninghame and the secret trail.

Mid tide in the Tyne Estuary, at St Baldreds Cradle...

After the secret trail it was along to Tyninghame Cafe for Tea/coffee and cake...

Fed and watered we headed up to Pencraig Hill, and just as we got there the Red Arrows arrived!...

Amazing display...

The Red Arrows must have grabbed a chance to fly as the weather was not the best for July as heavy showers blew over the county, and the temps dropped when it rained, not the best July weather!...

From above Markle another good view point as the remainder of the show flew around East Fortune...

WW1 Ariel display - Ze Germans! ...

Glad to miss this downpour...

Warm again as the sun came out, quite a change in temperatures today. A typical days end to bizarre summer weather...


Pic by Ritchie... `Beam me up Scotty!` -:)...

Down to East Fortune and a deluge must have fallen on the show as the race track was near underwater, no sign of this wet summer ending yet...

With all this rain, lush vegetation encroaching on inland trails, and the mud, i am just glad i have fat bikes for riding on the coastal sandy trails and beaches...

Some film i shot while riding, rather than riding to shoot a film - if you know what i mean!
