Saw the Mrs’s Cousin in his train at Par docks on the way. Never far from a relative in Cornwall. Bloody nice down Spit but cold. The Dear Boy had trouble with his ears in the wind. That concrete structure is a WW2 relic. When I was a kid we were often taken to Spit Beach. The local folk lore was because there was nowhere to spend money there, so a cheap day out for the parents. No ice creams or buckets and spades to buy. Reality was probably because it was quieter during the holiday season as you can only get the on foot. Holibobs never used to walk back then. Can’t move for the feckers now. Great shots Saul! Are there many of those lookout posts from WWII still there? I can remember growing up there were a quite a pillboxes on the beach in Swansea......only one left now I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there loads in Cornwall, I personally only know of half a dozen or so but there plenty around if you know where to look. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Yesterday's little jaunt. A few of us pushed on a bit on the way back, but then had to stop and wait for the rest. The weather was not too bad for it either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Had a 8k jaunt with the Dear Boy today. Same ground covered but good to be out there all the same. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Out with Mandy and the group again this morning. It was a bit parky when we set off and didn't really warm up much during the ride. Not many pictures as I didn’t have much opportunity to take that many. I was on my non-ebike today, so had to work a little harder at it! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 My walk was fairly mundane today but good to get out anyway. It's impossible to walk by the river at the moment as everything is flooded big time so we just plodded around the local roads............... Took one for @yen_powell ...................... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Had an email from the guy who organises the rides. They won't be going out if the temp is below 5C, fucking lightweights! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Well, just because the lightweights weren't up for a ride I thought I'd shame them! It was a bit chilly and pretty windy too, but I chose a route to give me as much shelter as possible. Thankful for the eBike when I was riding into 25-40kph headwind, especially up hill! @Clive that's about as deep as I'm prepared to go! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The plan was to walk across the sand bank and around the other side of the small etang. The only problem was that it was blowing a hoolie and the wind was not only biting, but was whipping the sand up like a sand blaster, so we bottled it and walked back to the car to have a hot cup of coffee! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Went out and about with the Dear Boy today. We did 7.5k but he’s was distracted didn’t want to pose for any photos or even mooch about like he normally does. He even got a bit frustrated with me when I stopped to take some pics of stone piles. Call me soft but I think he knew there were birthday prezzies at home for him. Anyway he is happily sleeping now after being spoilt on his 7th birthday. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
