A game of 'Spot CitroJim' :)

Firstly:

Whilst at my parkrun photography gig...

And later that same day... A mass photo of Redway Runners at the start of the Newport Pagnell Carnival 5K race :D In all there were 500 of us running. A properly big event and very much a local institution as well as an integral part of the carnival...

This race is along closed roads that starts just over the border in a Milton Keynes Industrial Estate, goes through the town and ends up at the carnival site by the river. We run just in front of the float procession.

It was a great run :D I didn't do a tremendously good time as 99% of my family were spectating half way along the course and I stopped for a selfie with them all :cool:

Today I'm back at the carnival, especially for the classic car show :) That's after my usual Junior parkrun gig...

What a busy weekend for you Jim I can't see you in the second photo of runners - presume you are behind the lens :?: Maybe Mick could work his 'magic' :wink:

I remember an old Samsung 35mm camera I had that used a remote control to take the photo easily so I could be in it as well .... worked fine until it went missing :rofl2: I might still have the camera somewhere .... :roll:

Good Luck with the trophy hunt today ....

Excellent! A good example of hiding in plain sight :)

Too interesting for me on this occasion Ryan... Judging by the intensity of the storms here this morning it's likely the entire shebang has been washed away...

Did they purposely put your number lower than your real age?

:lol:

67 is a very significant number for me :D It was my old 100cc International Kart racing number and nowadays it's my TT race number and a lifetime running number with a couple of local event organisers...

I believe that the reason he is suspicious is because he believes that a certain resident of the Letchworth area is stalking him!

Bluebell has been brought out of hibernation today so I can enjoy a few little drives in her before she's SORN'd.

She really is driving beautifully and it never fails to amaze me the significant differences between her and Strawberry!
