Festival of Speed

Me and Joe had a day out at the Festival of Speed at Goodwood today..

Joe fancies one of these....

Or maybe this McLaren hyper car....

We went for a ride in a helicopter!  First time for both of us....

Sat sat in the copilots seat...  Don't press and buttons!

Nice view of the festival...

Great fun and one to tick off the bucket list....

This is the classic JPS Formula 1 car from the 1970s....

And a beautiful MkI Escort....my first car...

Joe had a go in a car (simulator) built at Surrey Uni...

Mountain Bike High Jump....

And motorcross bikes...

Joe got all the signatures...

Then he thought he should have a go....

Go Joe!

Great fun... 

Checking out the paddock...

This is the classic Tyrrell F1 car with four front wheels...

Then we saw that car racing up the hill climb in front of Goodwood House...

"Can we take this one home?"  :-)

Great day out...

Exmouth 2021

Our long awaited trip to Exmouth finally happened this weekend.  Lovely house :-)

The welcoming party...

Me and Joe went out for a paddle and bumped into Pete, Will and Nell and watched Rachel and Freddy kite surfing...

Me and Joe found a nice pub the other side of the estuary in Cockwood...

Lovely pint in the Anchor Inn... (That's my pint Joe!)

The kids tucking into Helen's amazing spread...

Will giving a lecture on Cloud Computing :-)   (It was charades)

George, Pete and Karen...

Helen, Gareth, Joe and Lisa did a spot of stand up paddle boarding...

They all got up :-)

Rachel, Nell, Reggie, me and Joe went wake boarding.  Some tuition on the barge...

Then onto the water.  We all got up...brilliant fun.  I didn't get a photo of Rachel.

What a great weekend.  Brilliant fun had by all.  Thanks W&R...
