Thanks Brian. I do like bridges. Over on RC there's a link to someone on a Hondl 50 who likes trees http://members3.boardhost.com/cubchat/m ... 90750.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I like trees but I've spent so much time in recent months turning trees into firewood that I'd rather photograph bridges.

Here's one I prepared earlier.

When you're weary,

Post by NVNL » Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:14 am

When you’re weary, feeling small

Lie down and have a nap
Otherwise on yer bike!

Today’s little effort comes to you from Draynes Bridge (River Fowey), nice four-square sort of a river crossing with no Mr Lah-di-dah Gunner Graham Norman arches.
Obviously this is a photoshop effort as riding your bike down to the woods today is not allowed.
Eat your hearts out you 28DL types.

A bridge a day helps you work, rest and play

I've had a butcher's at The Rules and if anyone feels I shouldn't be putting the Trumpet and Velo snaps on here, please say and I'll stop. Otherwise I shall continue strict daily rotation like Doctor Iannis nitrogenating the herbs on Cephalonia.

Today I have parked my '69 T100C in the West Looe River near Herodsfoot.

Odd? Odd? Not at all - some peeps go to football.

I've also made a page on Facebook - it's called Bridge CLUB.

We sixties Trumpet types are very big on underslung mirrors. At heart we're just a bunch of secret agents and international jewel thieves.

RC Clique Lunch Meet

Post by NVNL » Thu Oct 13, 2011 4:25 pm

To England again today, this time to Roadford Tea Room for a power lunch with Frank and Dave. Together we worked through many weighty agenda items but reached only two conclusions –

a) Goffy’s a bleddy good bloke
b) Pudding’s fattening

The bridge in the photos is of course the dam and the third photo (Credit: P Baker) is from 1990.
