Day 114 - the South Bank show

After settling into my hotel near the London Eye, I went along the South Bank to meet up with Eve & Graham, and Steve who were attending the marathon too.
When I walked back, there were many shakespeare plays on screens showing and a lot going on. This was my favourite picture of the walk back. An old fashioned carousel and its light show.

Day 113 - We're gonna need a bigger bag...

My kit etc to take to London. I hope it all fits

(in the end it did, but only just!)

Day 109 - 80 years of triangulation

Today is the 80th birthday of the humble trig (or triangulation) pillar, used by OS map surveyers to map Britain since April 1936.
I couldnt find one locally, there was one on Canford Heath but apparantly it has been destroyed so I found a picture of the highest one I have ever been to (and presumably the highest in the UK), on the summit of Ben Nevis

Day 108 - Oh i do like to be beside the seaside..

5 mile run this morning before junior parkrun, past sights like this...
wouldnt be quite as lovely if it was blowing a hoolie and raining but this morning it was just glorious. :-)

Day 107 - Wagon Droves and Ox Droves

Exploring the Ox Droves and more in Wiltshire as part of route Recce for the Ox Races.
I think the view speaks for itself!
