One life live it...
Today i did a ride not for myself but for my dad. When he gets out of hospital he will not walk again on the beaches and coastline he spent his life on from 1970 to 1990 as East Lothians first and Senior Countryside Ranger for Scotland's first Countryside Ranger service...
He will get to see the coast from the car but not walk the secluded areas of coastline away from the public.
That's where i come in as my blog pictures have become a way to show dad our coastline today and how it is changing with on going coastal erosion and regeneration like i posted on at Aberlady Bay last week.
Sunday was a lovely clear Autumn day. It was supposed to be only 9 degrees Celsius, but was warmer than that, maybe the last warm Sunday of this year on the coast...
So i rode the Moonlander from North Berwick out to Aberlady Bay and instead of bike riding pics tried to capture the views and wildlife as viewed from the saddle...
A Hard Job? Aye right!
ReplyDeleteGreat that your Dad will still get to see the coastline via your photo's buddy. Not ideal of course but I'm sure he will appreciate them - and the fact that his love of and respect for nature and the land carries on in his boys.
Cheers!
We're off on Tues for a week in Aberfeldy. Maybe we can finally catch up when I get back?
Great pics. If Archie has any requests for pics from down this way just say.
