A sweet overnighter at the weekend - Manchester/Hope/Manchester - with some old friends from Nottingham and London. Max rode his lush Ritchey Team Comp circa 1985 to show all us modern fad/kit people up...

A slight deviation from the norm - life is a little too over-subscribed to get out on a bike much at the moment but here's a few I took in the last month I'm happy with. Sorry there'[s no bikes. Later in November maybe.

Both taken mid-Channel in around 38m.

Particularly happy with the first due to 3 different sources of light reasonably well balanced.

This is looking back at the steering quadrant of a sub-chaser. The barrel shaped things in the foreground are 70 year old depth-charges.

Brrrrrrrr :)

Nice shots Oli.

Great pics, really interesting. I always assumed this thread was for any great / interesting / whatever pics. Never assumed it had to be bike or bivi related

Agree, hell very few of my pics have bikes in them!

Thanks for that. I'm away for some blue water diving tomorrow - I may bore you with some more UW when I get back if that's ok.

Not taken in last month, but developed, so as close as.

In the words of Mick Jagger :-

"This could be the last time..."


Please, oh please let it be the last time, for this year at least.

Maybe not a great photo, but I like it....

Today I sent our red'ist of red cranes to a lifting job at the Man City ground.

I couldn't tell you why, but I really like that last shot Greg. There's a really nice grain to it.

Never put any of my efforts in here... but here goes...

Ooh Bird Rock from't 'wrong' side

From Castell y Bere

(Which would be a phenomenal bivi spot)

Thanks Dan, that is why I like to take photos like this. I utterly adore when a shot fades to empty.

Matt - I like the bench shot!

I was hoping the heavy fog I've been seeing from the commute all week would hang around for the weekend for that reason. Unfortunately it seems to have buggered off this morning.

Quite possibly my favourite photo that I've taken this year and it was taken on my new camera phone as well

A local lady in the café at Corris recommended Castell y Bere as a bivi spot for the chapel & church event (but was a bit off route for me). Where was the very first bivi night at the very beginning of Bearbones? I couldn't make it but from memory was it Castell y Bere?

Great pictures btw!

Great photo John!
What phone is it?

Craigellachie nature reserve, Aviemore this afternoon. Pretty much peak colour in there at the moment!!
