Sunday Epic coast ride Pt1 of 2

Sunday morning dawned a clear sky, i was off out early down to the coast with friend Sanny...











10.30am was a 1.0 meter low tide, and so ideal to ride from Tyninghame beach to Seacliff, under Tantallon Castle and around to Canty Bay and to North Berwick, the hardest most technical coastal low tide rock riding in East Lothian...









































We bumped into friend Gary Buckham!, Gary was out walking on the coast, looking for Bricks and old stuff from the past that appears on the coast...









Gin Head...






What was in here at Gin Head?
Destined to become a private house these buildings were where radar detection devices like `Window` was invented and tested here, then perfected at Flambourgh Head on the Yorkshire coast would become vital to saving thousands of Allied lives...


Here is a film about Gin Head...




































I love my old Puglsey...


The hard work to North Berwick done  it was time to zoom along the beach to Gullane for ice cream...















Bliss...























And home under a big sky...
