Gritty Hoy

Last night I went to Kirkwall pool to join the Kayak Club session - T'was fun and I woke this morning with some pool water still up my nose after capsising drills.

For once, the weatherman was right and it was a fairly bright morning with hardly any wind so I saddled up and took the bike on a 15mile outing. My stats are not as good as Gorgeous...This is mainly down to, I think, him having bigger legs (bigger muscles), having bigger wheels (cheating) and natural Herculean fitness (Bastard!!). However, I did well and I don't feel fatigued from it.

Later, a trip to Stromness to wander the dogs at the shore under increasingly moody skies. I made the mistake of processing this shot and it went a bit wrong...But it is my only shot today. And I didn't save the original. I'm a banana.
