Cycling catch up...


Back to work last week after 5 months Furlough and back part time now working a 3 day week, Thursday finished and i parked up at Gullane and cycled out to the Reserve for a cycle around the WW2 Coastal defences, all the time watching a darkening cloud moving up into the wind across the Forth Estuary, it would pass over later delivering a cold heavy downpour for 10 minutes that would see me heading back to the van!, however it was good as it always is to get in a wee cycle however short it may be...

The lines of blocks here are well preserved and here is a good overhead film that good friend Phil made a few years ago...



On the ground they are still good to see and follow the paths around them...











I popped out here to uncover a Spigot Mortar mount I discovered around 10 years ago by accidentally tripping over it, I found another similar one at Ferny Ness at Gosford Bay, both I had never seen documented online before...



Grid reference NT 465 828,  I planned to do more filming after uncovering it but the heavens opened and I abandoned the ride and sped back to the van at the car park soaked!, warmer days are coming to to stuff like this!...


A small film, check out the threatening sky!,

More soon...

East Lothian Harvest - from the air

If you are enjoying the East Lothian Harvest time scenery on the blog this now then check out this film a friend Gary E has just made using his remote control Quad copter (it may have more than 4 props!)

You may remember this film i posted up by Gary 6 months ago



Well Gary has been back out filming the harvest, and some very big machines too!
It is easily the best East Lothian film i have seen made this year, because of its quality, amazing skill and operation by Gary, we plan to do a fatbiking film very soon when weather conditions are right,

an amazing film, shot here in East Lothian where the core of a Combine Harvester was invented...
