We have been too busy to blog lately plus I was waiting to get back to the country to be able to scan O maps for the blog. Then guess what? You've got it in one: I forgot to bring the maps down. So those will have to wait for the next time I am anywhere near a scanner.
It was the Postas Kupa last weekend where I entered quite a long course (for me at least), it was 4700m with quite a lot of climb. We were on sand dunes and you can see Andor in the great distance heading for his first control in the first picture.
The second and third pictures are from Roman Shore, where we went for an amble. It has changed a lot since my childhood, but the river is still as romantic as ever. Unfortunately the old wooden boathouses have all but disappeared and the only remaining one has an ugly advertising banner on it. Still, it was a nice walk.
We have also come across a rally of Harley Davidson bikes the other day, which made me realise what a variety of designs, colours and shapes motorbikes can be nowadays. The weather is getting nice and warm now and with the heat of their engines, it got very hot around them. The prices of these bikes make you a bit hot under the collar as well: you can buy a small car (or in some cases quite a big car) for the price of some of them.
The last picture is of a tank like Roller, which I have come across right in front of the Opera House a week or so ago. I have never seen one this big in my life. I know you can buy a house for the price of one of these and that makes me sick. On the other hand, the engineering genius that produces these monsters is awsome and demands some respect.
