Guernsey Weekend 3

Sunday morning was sunny with even a bit of warmth in the air so we walked along the coast path from Grande Rocques to Le Grand Havre. Here some images to show the variety of different beaches in just this small stretch of the coast.

Guernsey Weekend 2

We went for a walk along the cliffs at Pleinmont. The sunlight on the cliffs was a bit harsh for photographs though the warmth was welcome after all the grey days. The light was excellent on these scramble bikes competing in races on the track there.

Guernsey Weekend 1

Lovely to be back on Guernsey - thanks to Jan and David for inviting me for the weekend and arranging some very good weather today. A real feel of spring with warm sunshine on                   Vazon Bay and a few insects waking up.

Fun with Ink Drops

We spent an enjoyable though sometimes frustrating (due to triggering problems with flash guns) couple of hours dropping coloured ink into water and trying to catch interesting collisions like the first one where a drop coming down has hit one going up. We really need a more complicated release mechanism for the ink drops - perhaps next year!!

Cambridge Half Marathon - The Lighter Side

Despite the pretty chilly conditions, it was obvious that a lot of the runners were greatly enjoying their run - at least at the half-way point. I thought the Anglia Ruskin University mascot was a bear but apparently it is a rhino.

Controversy at the Cambridge Half Marathon

As I needed a walk having been somewhat curtailed in activities with an annoying cough for several days,  we walked across from Barton to Grantchester to watch the runners come by at the half-way point of the race. The leader here, who also crossed the finish line first, was disqualified as it was actually another runner who took his name, chip and number when the original runner (Andrew Rawlings) was injured. The replacement said he attempted to let them know but got an out-of-office reply. So William Mycroft became the official winner. The female winner was definitely Georgina who was leading as they came through Grantchester
