Prince of Wales Cup

Rather dull and quiet for the POW Cup, but took lots of photos.  Thanks to Steve for the ride in Scooby!

Getting the Fotoboat gear out again for a major event at Exe SC.  The International 14s are holding their UK nationals and the Prince of Wales Cup at Exe SC from Thu 10 May until Sun 13 May.  Tom Hurley will be out on Thursday and I will be covering the POW Cup on Saturday.  Tom's pictures will be here on Thursday evening, and mine ASAP after the race on Saturday.

It's a bit clunkier than in the old Fotoboat days but this is what to do:

Land's End at Last!

Roland and I made it to Land's End last Saturday, after a week walking from Helford Passage.  Monday and Tuesday were very wet and the serpentine rock around The Lizard very slippery.  The weather for the last couple of days was excellent and the scenery spectacular.  Thanks Roland for your company throughout!

Coast Path Week 3

Looks like I have omitted a report on week 3 of our SWCP walk.  Better late than never... The route was from Polperro to Helford Passage, and Roland and I did it from 24 to 28 October last year.  Day one was horribly wet but a highlight of the week was that night's B&B, the Greenbank in Fowey.  As I said to Ken Rigby, our host:  "If we had turned up in such a wet state at almost any of the other B&Bs we used during the week we'd still have been damp the following day!  Greenbank definitely gets our vote as the best B&B of the week - best view (see pics), best breakfast, best company and best value!"

We hope to do the last leg, to Lands End, in May.  There is some uncertainty about the date as I am waiting for  second cataract op (had the first one 2 years ago).

Volvo RS Feva GP 8/9 Oct

I will be teaming up with Steve Best in RIB Scooby for this one.  We should get some sunshine and breeze, both essential ingredients for excellent photos.  There may be a slideshow in the Clubhouse on Saturday evening - watch this space for details.

RS100/300 File Numbers

It has been pointed out to me that I uploaded the RS100/300 images without the file numbers!  That's now been fixed.
