I've not been far on the bike over the last couple of weeks
due to persistent freezing conditions. But today it was sunny so I decided to
wrap up warm (thermals, mitts, balaclava, multiple layers of clothing etc) and
take a short run down to the coast. The roads were mostly clear but any
untreated surfaces were solid with ice.
Port Glasgow
"Ginger" by
sculptor Andy Scott in Greenock. Ginger was a local dray horse who sadly fell into the
harbour & drowned in 1889. Not one of Andy's best I think. The head &
neck don't match the body.
The Pole Star is a
lightship supply vessel that was built locally.
The great Scottish
Engineer James Watt was from Greenock
Me at Gourock in my
winter gear.
Memorial to Free
French Navy that operated from Greenock during the war.
View of the Firth of
Clyde from the memorial
Nymph statue, also by
Andy Scott, Greenock
Our horse Fritz, like
me, wrapped up against the cold.
Well I stayed warm & comfortable during the short run
and had a very enjoyable afternoon out.
