Bike Jumble in Essex

Leaden Roding, last Saturday.

Richard in Highgate

Here is Richard playing the trumpet at the end of the parkland walk in Highgate. We found out that old railway tunnels have excellent acoustics.

Walton-on-the-Naze

Lovely end of the road type seaside town where you can find fossils, WW2 bunkers and most famous for a Georgian tower which I didn't take a photo of. But it was very nice and there was an interesting couple selling fossilised poo.

Electric Pedals at Herne Hill

Electric pedals come to Herne Hill to power a screening of Belleville Rendez-vous. An Excellent film in a wonderful location. What a great idea.

Some bike jumble sale pics

Some images from my bike project. The first one is from a bike jumble sale at Ripley, just south of London. It's the biggest one near me and always a special event with lots of bargains to be found. I'll be down there in May looking for a nice steel touring frame.

The second photo is from a jumble sale at Herne Hill Velodrome. It's a smaller affair but it's in a lovely location where you can soak up the atmosphere and find lots of cool bits for your bike.

Weekend wild camping trip

Last weekend I fancied getting out of London so I went camping in the Chilterns. After packing my bag, I realised that it wasn't heavy enough so I decided to take the 5x4 with me. All this week I've been saying "I wish I took the Mamiya7 instead" but I think that in some masochistic, retrospective way, I'm glad I didn't. I might even do it again.
A big thankyou to Ant at Darkside for suggesting where to go and developing+contacting my B/W's ;)

Dunwich Dynamo

The Dunwich Dynamo is a 120 mile night ride. Not a race, just a friendly (albeit rather long) cycle ride. It is on the Saturday that is nearest to the full moon in July. Starting in London Fields, Hackney. It progresses north east up to the village of Dunwich.
Here is a contact of the start of the Dun Run. I was slightly tempted to take the 5x4 with me. I would of liked to have shot the destination as everyone is ready to go and excited at the beginning and the end result is a mass lie-in on the beach at dawn which would of been a nice contrast. Maybe next year.

The first post

So, the first post: First trip abroad with the 5x4 (Lombardy) and I think it was a success, I've got some stuff I'm happy with and I was only slightly ravaged by killer-psycho mosquitoes.
