Renault World Series @ Donnington

I was given a load of free tickets to this event at Donnigton Park for the week end just gone. Absolutely superb. You got right up close to the action - walking round the race cars and being literally a stones throw away from the track action. Here's a few pics.....

London on the cheap!

With nothing to do on a saturday night, young Butch and I set about the challenge of going to London, one of the most expensive cities in Europe - and not spend a penny!

Ok we're cheating a little bit. Some after hours work on saturday meant I had the privilidge of an '06 Focus with a full tank for the week end - so that was our transport sorted. First stop Ace Cafe. We arrived at the cafe and absolutely nothing was going on - so we left. We decided to drive to Chelsea to see if the cruise was on.....

^ Chelsea Bridge..... the cruise was last week ^

With Butch as my guide, I set out to see everything that was quintessentially 'LONDON' - or maybe stereotypically is more appropriate. Appologies for the photos - they were taken at night and whilst moving:

^ Big Ben ^

^ A London Cab ^

^ A traffic warden..... you can't park anywhere ^

^ The London Eye ^

^ Picadilly Circus ^

^ A party boat ^

^ A London Bus.... full of politicians going to Hamstead Heath ^

^ A Policeman ^

Wales'06

We went on a mountain bike trip to Wales in the Affan Valley. Haywards superb organisational skills allowed us to stay in a log cabin in the middle of most of the trails in the Affan Valley.
