Trip to Edinburgh

Drove up to Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago to see Jez with my mate Lynn. Only took us 6 and a half hours to get there from kent :-) Although this was overnight and we were both shagged out by the time we got there :-)

The view from Jezza's Flat over looking the Golf course.

Jez doing his drum solo!!!

After a night out on the town we decided to see some of the beautiful countryside Scotland has to offer.

So many sheep!!!

Jezz on his machine :-)




On our travels we found a salmon farm that served food, so had to stop for a break :-) Jez took a liking to one of the waitresses, so we had to take a piccie of him trying out his best chat up lines :-)

Windsor Great Park

The rules and regulations for entering this wonderful park



The view of Windsor castle from the road crossing the outskirks of the park





The Gate House, used to contain the many Deer in the park





The view from one ofthe many trees lining the pathways




One of the many grand statue's




And the view looking back

Dungeness Lighthouse

As the weather was nice today, i decided to go down to the coast and ended up at Dungeness. Found this Lighthouse that was open to the public :-)

More Hover Pics

Found some more pics of my Hovercraft days.
This is me with my craft in the early days. Taken at Diss in Norfolk :-)



And this is a typical race venue incorporating water and land. Stamford Hall near Rugby.

This is me in the last craft i built. Taken at the Dudley circuit.

May King

This is me as May King at Infants School. God knows how i got the part. Must have been my charm :-)

New York 1999

More pics from the past...Went to New York with a few mates in 99. This was our hotel, the United Nations.

The view from the room..was quite spectacular!!

Another shot of the view





Lynn deciding to end it all but i managed to talk him out of it :-)

Young Man!!!

Here is my class school photo when i was at Junior school. I will let you guess which one is me :-)

No Bover with a Hover

In my younger days i used to race Hovercraft. It was great fun and managed to break a few bones over the years. This is me in my Formula 3 craft.I hung up my overalls after 5 years but always wish i was still doing it :-)

Amsterdam

On one of our trips to Amsterdam, Poko got totally pissed on the out going coach trip. And as true friends we decided to draw all over him :-)

Warsaw

I took this picture when i worked in Poland for a short while back in the year 2000. I was always struck by this communist icon in the middle of the city.

Blair on the streets

Was searching through my pics when i came across this one. I took this when in London a few years ago. He was standing there waving to all the tourists as they went by. Personally i think he was waiting to do a bank job :-)

Fink & Lynette's Wedding

A Pic of the happy couple as promised

Not sure i belong here

This is a picture i took at Brands Hatch last September. I was lucky enough to attend with the Corporate sponsors for BMW. Me and my mate managed to blag our way on to the grid just before the start of the race. Amazing what you can do with some official looking passes and an innocent looking face :-)

You have to see the funny side

New Start

This is my first post in about 3 years!! A lot has been going on in my life over that time but i thought it was time to pull my finger out and start blogging again :-)

Went to Fink and Lynette's Wedding on Saturday and had a great time (Pics to follow) Was so nice to be able to support them on their big day. Good luck guys and i wish you all the happiness you deserve.
