It was 84 when I left at 7AM this morning. Mid 90s a couple hours later when I got back.

That's not so bad. eh.
That sound about like the temps we're enduring here in my beloved state of North Carolina this time of the year.

Here a couple from my west country trip last summer, taken on a 10 bob phone ! Picture 1 is me camped up in Dorset, 2 is what it say,s the first and last pub in England, pic 3 again, no explanation needed, pic 4 is the last bit of rock on the English mainland, that drop of water your looking at is the Atlantic ocean, and pic 5 is the old disused lifeboat station at The Lizard, Cornwall.I am taking a day off from building the trailer tomorrow, and going for a ride through the New Forest, i,ll grab some photo,s while i am out.

Thanks Mick, interesting photos. More please.

mick56 · 07-28-2014, 05:05 PM

A couple more from my jaunt around the west country.the first 3 are of a little village called Boscastle, it was partly washed away a couple of years before, the river rose up to roof level. The last one is at Calne bike meet, Google it, that bloke in the paraglider i think they are called, dropped into the middle of us, walked up to the bar and ordered a pint, drank it and took off again

Mad bastard!

Hey Mick, i went for a short ride tonight, to Beaulieu, about 2 miles from my place, a village owned by Lord Montague, he has a few thousand acres of pasture land, forest and the Beaulieu river,which you can see in one of the next set of shot,s, his ancestral home is Beaulieu abbey, which has a huge motor museum, his father was one of the first to own a motorcar in England, and therefore, the world. The pub you see is the Montague arms hotel, very posh and expensive, but some of us old shit kicker,s still get in the public bar anyway.

While i was sitting on the bench on the village green a bloke rode by on a Vincent Black Shadow, with all the period gear on, not unusual round here, the museum has vintage bike/car rallies all the time.

mick56 · 07-29-2014, 08:30 PM

More Beaulieu, it means beautiful place in french

Those stone wall,s that you see are 12th century, as is the church, we got a few of them around here. That wooden rail in picture 3, i crashed a car through that one night about 35 yrs ago, ended upside down in the river, pissed as a fart

, if the tide had been in i would have drowned, instead, 2 of my mate,s pulled me and my woman out and we went into the Montague arms covered in mud and snot, for more beer

mick56 · 07-29-2014, 08:51 PM

This is my local pub, The Old Mill, built in about 1600 as a watermill, it used to be a punishment house for the monk,s at Beaulieu abbey,those who got caught messing about with each other or the local kid,s i reckon

Anyway ,there is an old tunnel that goe,s from there across Beaulieu heath to the monastry about a mile away,theres a trap door in the pub cellar that goes down to the entrance, but it was bricked up years ago.The bloke who owns the pub is a mate of mine, when i stopped to take these photo,s tonight, he gave me a black parasol from the pub garden to fix onto my trailer, dont like to see me sweat, good man.

The third picture is the Royal Oak at Hilltop, half way between the Old Mill and the Montague Arms, dont have to travel far to get pissed here nipper
