Cupid Stunt

Well that was a long trip mostly wasted but salvaged this panorama of Aberystwyth Started out driving up to Llyn Brianne at 3pm (45 miles) in the vain hopes of getting a Sunset there, no luck as it just clouded over, so then drove across to Aberystwyth (32 very dodgy miles and a hill climb in the dark), got bigger panorama than below but cocked up with focus, still managed to salvage this one, wasn't entirely happy so then drove to Ynys (across the estuary from Port Meirion 58 miles), but couldn't get the angle I wanted as it was too late to be driving down private roads and there was no damned snow on the mountains behind "The Village", b*ll*cks, not having much luck so headed on to Caernarfon Castle (24 miles) to get a classic reflection shot, but oh dear, the lights weren't on and the tide was out pffft, bloody tired now as it's early hours, thought I'd head back via Machynlleth and stop, wait for morning to see if any fighter jets were low flying, fell asleep in a layby, woke up at about 4am and decided to head for home (138 miles) arrived at 08:10am. 273 miles of dodgy, slow Welsh mountain roads in the pouring rain So remember when you see a great picture online from a photographer, give it a like as it's extremely unlikely they they simply happened to be in the right place at the right time, I guarantee they've done all this crap too and more, tried dozens of times before getting that one shot, the one below isn't a great shot, just what I could salvage from one of many failed trips.

The Tough One 2009 David Knight vs Taddy Blazusiak shoot it out at Nantmawr Quarry, Wales, those were the days and it gives some insight into what it's like trail riding on the terrain in Wales If you've got access to the Roku channel it's on there

You should check your sources zzzak, always check the information you've been fed

You should always double check the information you've been presented with zzzak, a simple Google image search and you'd have found untampered images

Sunset over Pennard Castle and Three Cliffs Bay

Wank stain I'm well aware what a retard you was being. You been gargling Buckster's Jiz again

That's so ironic it's funny I list some facts and you say "no", twat

It's very true zzak, people seem to be oblivious to the facts in front of them Animal and plant life grew faster than at any other time in Earth's history when CO2 in the atmosphere was 400 times what it is now We are still technically in an ice age (determined by there being ice on the polar caps), we are in fact on the exit side of the curve right now and the Earth is going to get warmer, no question and now way to stop it, Human's influence will count for absolutely nothing. The people I worked with at the Woodland Trust came up with a dumb climate change saying "Trees eat carbon for breakfast" to which I responded "so why exactly is it you wish to get rid of carbon?"

I bet Pete spent many hours under here picking up coins that had been dropped through the walkway slats

Holy crap, now I can imagine Phil on one but Martin?, that's a stretch

That's the one

Very pleased with this attempt The Great Nebula in Orion M42 100 x 30 sec, ISO-500, f/5.6, 300mm Tamron, Fujifilm X-H2 10 x flats, 20 x darks, Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer, no guiding, Processed completely in Affinity Photo

Crickey, you kept hold of that video How things moved on. That was an old Canon camcorder with A/V input sockets, I ran a CCTV bullet cam on my helmet with a power supply for it in the bum bag with the camcorder, a whopping 640 x 480 resolution LOL I got the idea from watching that nutcase in Sweden winding up the police (forgot his title now?)

No, a different Jase

Ah yes, Phil and Martin came out with me a properly mental ride once, fortunately I had my Tricker which was like cheating cos the huge boulder strewn gulley that we went down was nuts, with a couple of 6ft drop-offs onto sloped ground, haven't seen Martin for years There was another ride I took Martin (Cabbage) on that was great fun, he went head first off his bike into a boggy mini pond, ever since then I called it "Cabbage Soup Lane", it's the lane that ran from Edwinsford to Abergorlech

Bloody Hell Fred it's looking wet and muddy out there

I reckon I used to make some good videos

...before multirotors/quadcopters were called drones and before we had stabilisation systems I was lobbing RC quads and planes into the skies with air to ground transmitters so I could fly FPV

Yes, I do a bit, completely out of the question now since I split a vertebrae 18 months ago, only gotta sneeze wrong and I'm in trouble. I really do need to get out on the scoot more though, it's a capable and nippy machine.

Awesome trip and report Sophia and Pedro, thanks

Every year here, it's a pain having to park the scoot at the garage while the mechanic and I have a natter and mug of tea.

Brilliant Fred, looked great fun

Some nature has come to visit for the Winter again, about half the size of a thumb

Here it is, get's played for the kids every year "Santaclaus ya cunt, where's me fucking bike"
