Why did you ignore the signs asking folk not to feed the birds ?

Have another look, the notice says Seagulls, have you been away from these shores that you don't recognise Starlings.

Busy, Busy, I thought you were living the high life over there.

Busy, Busy, I thought you were living the high life over there.

Had to clean the pool and fix the brakes on 2 bikes. Then road test them. Long walk with dog, which does go past a bar or 2

 

[shawn&emma]

Got a itch you can't reach, this'll do the job.

Our pitch for tonight is on the Derwent Reservoir on the Durham/Northumberland border just off the A68 at Consett.
There ar two other overnight stays as well as this provided by Northumbria Water.
The other two are on Search for Sites, this one isn't. All three are £10 per overnight.
The other two have toilet facilities, this one doesn't but the gate off the road is locked at night.View attachment 318645View attachment 318646

One of the anglers emptying the fish back in from his keep net.

Filming started earlier today. Lots of horses and folks in costume, its the top end of the photo where all the action is taking place. Smoke machines to give the impression of good old london fog.

The Gelmerbahn was the steepest funicular in Switzerland and Europe, until the opening of the new Stoos Funicular in 2017. With an inclination of up to 106%, originally built to transport the heavy construction materials for the Gelmer dam constructed in 1926 it is nowadays open to the public. In a blink, the funicular makes its way to the Gelmer valley 1860 meter above sea level.

Last photo of the filming in the street from yesterday. It turns out it was for a Sci-Fi drama by the creator of Buffy the Vampire, called The Nevers.

Meet up of Funsters for lunch to celebrate Purple Positive Power, (PPP), for Funsters going through cancer treatment.

Beautiful day with beautiful people.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is 106% inclination ? I thought 90 was vertical.

Just outside of C&MC Borrowdale this afternoon....

Sun down in Gastes, SW France. Lovely little spot, with Beavers in the marina.

You are correct Yorick

106 goes past vertical

 

[Zigisla]

Pardon my ignorance, but what is 106% inclination ? I thought 90 was vertical.

Angle percentage and angle of degrees are very different. Divide the height increase by the length and X by 100 = percentage. E.G. a 10m height gain over 100M is an incline of 10%

 

[trophychap]

Paul and Kate To work out the 106 Degree angle you need to start with 180 degrees as flat and count back! It's confusing I know but 106 is actually 16 degrees from vertical, which is 90 degrees. As an example 135 degrees is actually only a bend of 45 degrees. Hope this helps LOL.

But we are not talking Degrees. We are talking percentage.

This made me chuckle today

Now that 106% has been sorted ??? when we got to the top this was the stunning man made lake which we hiked around. Took about 3hrs with a lunch stop.

OMG !!! I suffer from vertigo which hits out of the blue ... that path would have been quite a challenge. You have my respect.
