Liverpool Everton Reytons Burnley

Me and Joe had a few days up north going to Liverpool's Albert Docks, Everton v Newcastle, the Reytons in Manchester and Pompey at Burnley.  Lovely sunset at the Albert Docks in Liverpool.
It was still warm enough to eat some Thai outside :-) 
Light show in a Liverpool square,,,
We headed for the new Evrton Stadium - the Hill Dickinson, to see the league cup game between Everton and Newcastle...
Massive modern stadium....   52000.  Evrton won 3v0.
We stayed in Manchester, and next day went into town and had a look round the Manchester Art Museum.
Then we found the best thing eeever.  A retro football shirt shop with a bar in it :-)
Next we were off to the COOP Live Arena to see the Reytons....
First support act was Alex Spencer....

Then the Reytons with a fantastic set....

We bumped into Alex Spencer outside after the gig..
The next day we drove up to Burnley to watch Pompey play Burnley.  Pompey played well, but result was 0v0.
What an amazing trip :-)

Old Harry Rocks Bike Ride

This weekend we went to Poole to have a few beers and do a bike ride from Corfe down to Old Harry Rocks and back.  Beer and music in the amazing King Charles pub circa 1350!   the band played only songs from 1979 :-)
Out on the trail in the morning.  Corfe Castle in the background.
Our route.
And me :-)
The ride down towards Old Harry Rocks with Poole Harbour on one side and Swanage on the other if fantastic...
You can just see the IOW Needles in the background...
Mucking about by the Rocks.   Back a bit boys....
Amazing ride.

Pompey played well, but Wolves are a very good team.  Wolves went one up, but Terry Devlin scored in the 86th minute to earn Pompey the draw....happy with that :-)
