Return to John Muir Park!

iphone Pano pic...

Sunday seen a return cycle to JMP today along with Craig, being a holiday week and mid day mid tide JMP is always quieter than around NB and Gullane so better for filming and getting away from it all and enjoying the coastal scenery and nature on offer here,
More woods riding today before riding around Spike Island and across to Behaven bridge before returning across the salt marsh,
Again pics are stills from the Go Pro...

Unknown origin of use of this WW2 building, never seen another like it online anywhere...

`Bullet Hill` former firing range, a quick look in rabbit scrapes soon turns up some .303 bullets...

Sandy trails around the woods...

Checking out the big tyres!....

Hedderwick sands...

Big Sky day in the Shire...

Out at Sandy Hirst Point...

Belhaven Bay, and this now the aptly named `Bridge to Nowhere`...

From hence we came...

Across the saltmarsh...

Great wee hour cycle, Craig shouted chips in town before heading back to HQ, an ace Big Sky Day on the coast...
Some film, Song is `Skyliner` by Boards of Canada

Midweek Cycle; John Muir Park

Another dry day and an hour `Fat Fix` at John Muir Park,
Always like riding here as so quiet to the rest of the coast so ideal if you want to film,
It was a mild breezy day as i rode a clockwise loop around Spike Island after riding the sandy trails through the pine wood then east across Hedderwick Bay and out to the pint at the River Tyne Estuary,
Today i filmed the various WW2 remains on the beaches here, rubble from demolished Machine gun pill boxes, and the last remains of the Matilda tank which has nearly disappeared as the sea rots it away...
Sand was drifting as i rode down to Belhaven bay then back to the car park across the salt marsh,
sand has mostly increased here along the high tide line though there has been more erosion at the usual places,

Leaving the van in the car park and it was into the woods, roll the pics...

All Go Pro stills...

John Muir Way....

Midweek Cycle; Tyninghame

A quick afternoon blast on Fatbikes; me on the Surly Wednesday,  and friend Chris on his Surly Ice Cream Truck, pace was on with Chris working that evening, though we had time to stop at Tyninghame Cafe for food and sat outdoors in the Autumn sun and once done cruised back to HQ,
An ace day riding nearly 20 miles, roll the pics...

Well used gloves...

Now you see it...

Now you don`t!...

Wee film, song is `We are Going` by Burning Spear
