Another cracking #ChingfordLeague night racing under the lights with Loughton AC at the Velopark
Night time shot of a 5k race on the road circuit of the olympic velo park. Runner in shot wearing Loughton AC vest and extremely ugly shoes. Hard to recognise them as they ARE GOING SO FAST!

Love cross country with my club. A Ware Cup win for the mighty LAC women and a near miss second for the persistent LAC men!
A Loughton Athletic club flag is planted in the center of shot. Behind is a tired looking clubhouse and a tired looking runner holding a trophy that his team narrowly failed to win. Two athletes in the blue and white stripes of Eton Manor AC are chatting on the other side

Out on the end of the Dengie Peninsula. The very ends of Essex and while exposed it has a definite beauty
View across the Blackwater to Mersea Island. The tide is out and the mud flats are exposed. A very wide horizon and bright blue sky

Spent most of Saturday shovelling manure. Now sat in the open plan feeling like I could shovel a little more
Two people are laying down cardboard and covering it with manure in a large square. There is a wide and flat horizon and grey skies

It's a trap
A mackerel tabby cat is flomped over exposing his white belly. He is on autumnal table cloth with sunshine warming him nicely. Stick your hand in and there will be consequences
