I love riding along the beach with a tail wind and just the noise of the waves coming in, Broadsands at Yellowcraig here in the shire is one of the beast beaches for this, quite good here at Peffersands also, and this evening with no one around i enjoyed having the coast to myself, and Jake dog who was real happy to be out stretching his legs.
No need for an audio track this time, enjoy the sound of the sea on this Sunday morning...
Loving the earlier starts and finish being back working in Greenkeeping again, you get so much more done after work and make more of the available daylight hours that are drawing out noticeably more week by week as me move to the end of March and the clocks change this Saturday night,
Also enjoyed having M`s dog for a few days this week, a great wee pal who is full of beans and runs and runs and runs!, always happy his tail never stops...
Once again an empty beach at Peffersands so i made the most of it and made several films and took stills from the Go Pro footage once home and editing...
I still always try add some Pano pictures using my phone...
Yeehaa!
Here is a wee film of an empty beach, and a happy dog and rider...Song is `Nylon` by Phontaine
And ace on a Fatbike...
But must be a massive big world for a dog!
And Jake Dog loves running on the wide expanses of the beaches of East lothian...
Here today at John Muir Park he ran with a stick for a good 6 miles!...
The Spring Equinox of last week had the lowest spring tides of the year, indeed there was an evening 0.0 Meter tide which does not happen every year,
Saturday morning had a 0.4 Meter low tide at 10am, i rode out at Peffersands to see a wreck on the Car rocks...
Here lies the remains of the SS Poderosa,
A Tyne built Cargo Steamship was built in 1875 by The Cole Brothers of 0Newcastle Upon Tyne It was 250ft long, weighing 732 tons.
These two images come up when i tried to find a pic of the Poderosa, these are different ships, certainly they are both Tyne built steamships of the period
It ran aground here on the 27th November 1896, on a trip transporting Ballast from Grimsby to Lieth.
The Captain Thomas Grieg, the crew of 15 and 1 passenger made it ashore safe,
The tide was not as low as i hoped today so here are some pics from a previous visit out to the wreck back in 2013...
The Ships anchor is at the road end to Schoughall Farm...
The boiler was built in Sunderland by r=this company...
Those pics from a previous visit show the remaining skeleton of the hull and boiler as often still intact in Steamship wrecks due to their strenght of construction.
It was a lovely morning as i headed back inshore...
A short ride this morning as loads more to do being the weekend,
Here is a film from the visit,
The Song is an unknown title, but is by Boards of Canada
A return to the WW2 sub wrecks out in Aberlady Bay, a half day Friday finish and despite a crazy gale force westerly i crawled out to the Reserve point into the wind as when it is like this i love watching the sand blowing across the dunes and exposed low tide flat sands...
I had got lucky having missed previous cold heavy rain showers that swept through that morning and despite the slow progress across the bay i enjoyed the lovely light and sun...
Crossing back tail wind assisted and the sands were dancing as drifts raced past me...
