Idiots. Selfish idiots. This is exactly the issue we discussed in the cafe today. I'd best not volunteer our conclusions
The beach car parks only opened on Monday.Idiots. Selfish idiots. This is exactly the issue we discussed in the cafe today. I'd best not volunteer our conclusions
I lost count of the number of London registered vehicles I saw on my ride this morning.
They just can't help themselves, can they?
I can see more restrictions on the way locally.
That might be the pickle.Two pints of GT Ales finest 'Blonde Ambition' light ale consumed whilst sitting in our sunny garden. Currently 27.3° out there.
I think there was something in the corned beef sandwich that has caused me to go a bit sleepy.
Might have to have an executive power nap to work it off.
I called them ars*holes but this mod thing converted it to peanuts. Why would they do that??? Peanuts is nothing like itIdiots. Selfish idiots. This is exactly the issue we discussed in the cafe today. I'd best not volunteer our conclusions
I can see vigilantes there soon.The beach car parks only opened on Monday.

I'm already organising them.....
Seriously though, there's thousands of Grockles coming down when they've been told that nothing is open.
All the public toilets are closed, pubs and cafes are closed. It's not going to be pleasant clearing up after this lot.
I can see there being traffic checks being introduced on the main roads.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I saw 5 or 6 hand made signs on my ride today telling everyone to go home. The locals are not happy bunnies

Unless there is a bad second wave you should be ok for September but distancing will be still in place and you may be recommended to bring food with you if self catering to avoid the local shops as too many customers would cause problems. The islands are very twitchy about people coming in from mainland although I think Tiree has already had some infection. Only been on Tiree once but have dived and fished around the area. My dive buddy was seasick once in Gunna Sound while in the water. Heavy swell in certain tidal conditions and we found the largest lobster I have ever seen living in the boiler of a wreck there.

Day 8 out on my bike.
It's 20 deg C outside, but to me feels hotter. Humid too. I've just been out to try a ride for the second time today - and for the second time I've come home in a puddle of sweat. I'd stripped down to a longish vest top and footless tights. I managed 8.1 miles in 28:22 - barely sporty. Data says average 17.2 mph, max speed 26.2.
The seafront was mobbed with visitors, car parking spaces all taken, pavements full, meandathals in the road. I had to brake and take evasive action a number of times. The sea breeze provided enough resistance to make me sweat a bit harder. Still panting (shhh ... don't tell my doctor) as I type and in need of a shower.
One thing I've noticed; I'm eating less and moving more, and more vigorously at that, but somehow my weight is increasing. Maybe fat is turning to muscle mass and accounting for it? Is that even a thing? Or a fanciful notion?

It's a thing, muscle is denser than fat IIRC. I used to be quite interested in nutrition/endurance when I was doing a bit of distance running.
With the heat it's a bit more difficult as our climate is a bit too varied.
I was in one race where they delayed the start by over an hour as the "elite" runners had been delayed by traffic.
Ended up running in 31 degrees at the warmest part of the day, oh how we laughed...

You'll get @Dave7 going with talk like that!
What with all the talk of Welshies bloomers and now Monkers vest, the forum is certainly getting a certain frisson. 😁
