My bike in front of the Moray Firth at Kingston. The shore used to be about 100m further out than this, it’s shrunk back significantly in the 30 years we’ve been here… they bolstered this shingle bank last year, there is a low flat nature reserve behind here which would easily be inundated by spring tides otherwise. The scouring effect of the Spey, especially in flood, probably adds to the erosion.
This is my circa 2001 Thorn XTC SWB… I have just resurrected it with higher and wider handlebars which have completely transformed it, I no longer bend in the ways that I did 25 years ago! I feel like I’ve just got a new bike and for the first time in years really enjoy riding it again.
