Completed Iron Brigade

[David Spencer]

Looks OK to me mate, at worst a slightly ill fitting jacket. Trouble is you know it's there even if others won't see it, crack on it's too good to get disheartened.

Cheers Simon

Thanks very much
I'm enjoying the project and am happy with it so far, on the whole. It's a great way to start the day, and just lately the weather has been perfect for highlights: a mite overcast with flat white light.

Morning light is really the best, as the day progresses it seems the quality of the light gets 'tired'. Pretty poor light here, it's filtered through gallons on rainwater!

Cheers Simon

This is a week off, because of other hobby stuff.
Back soon...

I walked 19 miles today, 24 yesterday, 20 tomorrow. 12 Sunday, 18 Monday (in the rain).
I do this for fun.

Show off, hope the scenery wasn't too rain obscured, nothing worse than walking miles for a certain view and then only being able to see a few yards. Have fun and keep your feet dry.

That was High Cup Nick in June. Completely obscured by cloud. And RAIN.

That's some serious mileage, I thought my 7 1/2 miles a day wasn't too bad. Do mine first thing in the morning giving me the balance of the day for benchtime....
Not all those who wander are lost..

That's the best approach. It'd be great to do that every day.
Healthy for mind and body.

Done. That was the Ridgeway National Trail. 5 days end-to-end. A grand walk, despite some dodgy weather forecasts
Actually wasn't too wet, in the event. We tended to beat the rain to the pubs we stayed in.
Worth the effort and planning.

 

[Briggsy]

Sounds like a great week, got to admit to missing doing things like that, especially with a pub at the end of each day. Hope the weather and light hold out for you to crack on with the Iron Bde chap.

The first two pictures are really good, nice progress but you really have cracked it in the third picture, well done!

Cheers Simon

 

[David Spencer]

Ha! Ay-thankyow!!
It's damned good stuff...

 

[David Spencer]

Just scored 92% in the US States quiz.

Best so far. But should've got Missouri, & Alabama ... Goddamned sesesh.
