Midweek Cycle Sunset cycle to the subs...



Just a week until the clocks change, then it will be midweek night rides so not  as much to blog with lack of photos.  Cycled down the beach from Gullane after work and done some beach combing...













Lots of beach glass this now, lovely rounded and smooth i soon filled my pockets...

It was a lovely evening so i kept cycling, no hurry to get home and the coast was quiet...



Just a pair dog walking and a kite surfer at Gullane...



2.4 meter low tide allowed to get around the cliffs and i rode onto the Reserve...



Big empty... so chased the sunset...



Following the previous tide line to see what had washed up...



Out to the sub wrecks just as the last light of the day began to fade..


And a few items picked up along the beach...


Sunset on the Garleton hills...



Riding back to the Van and the Sky was full of Geese...


The noise and sight is spectacular...


.



A lovely mid week easy cycle and more beach glass, another evening the same today and i should have enough glass to make something...


More soon...

Midweek Cycle; Reserve Point...



After the rain...
And a cycle an hour before sunset and stunning light on the coast...





In the WW2 Home Guard shelter near Gullane No1Golf Course13th tee some graffiti still can be seen...


From 1987 when i left school and worked here as summer staff...


That's me :)   can also still see the brown and green camo paint here...




Down at Gullane point and all was still with no wind...









There was no one else out here this evening...  perfect...



There were some Pink Foot Geese but i hoped to see them come in after sunset in their thousands...







No geese came in and i ride back to the van in the dark with the lights on, then typically the geese came over in the dark in their thousands but too dark to get pics or film!,

Oh well, maybe get them another evening...

Still glad to be out as the light was fantastic, turned out good on film too,
