Triton Square, Euston Road NW1

Thames Barrier Park
Thames Barrier Park was designed by Groupe Signes of Paris and Patel Taylor of London.
The park was first opened in 2000
The whole area is 22 acres (9 hectares)
Edinburgh
From the castle, (on a clear day) you can see almost all of Edinburgh, below you can see Prince Street Gardens and Princes Street
The Royal Mile
From the Castle we headed down the Royal Mile towards the Parliament building, on the way it looked like there was an architectural dig going on...
...and remains of what looked like some of the original paving stones that lined the street
The Parliament Building
The Parliament Building was designed by RMJM and EMBT
The building first opened in October 2004 and the local area reached 100,000 visitors
Mountain biking- Afan Forest, South Wales
Having arrived at about 11:30 Friday night in the rain!! We managed to get the tents up and had a rough nights sleep, there was still hope for a good days riding as the sun dried most of the rain fairly quickly on Saturday morning!!
The guys below after a 40km ride and having climbed 2000metres on the ride!! It wasn't a bad days riding no-one fell off, but the bikes suffered a little!! 2 punctures one each from Pete and Liam, a snapped chain from James, and a broken pedal and crank from Luke!! The route we did was called the skyline.
When camping its important to stay clean!! And we tried our best!!
And of course the weekend wouldn't be complete without a car breaking down on the way back. This is Luke's car being towed by Pete all the way from the Severn bridge back to Oxford!! At its best I think we had a 15 car tail back!!
Below is a loop from the highest point on the ride. According to the spec of the ride, the hills in the distance are the Brecon Beacons and the black mountains.
In the photo below if you look really closely inbetween the trees you can just about see the wind farm, which we were right next to near the start of the ride!! (I promise you its there!!)
To see some more pics of the weekend, check out pete's site, (the ceaser salad tasted as good as it looks!!) click here.
