End of the Summer...

Turf walk 014

It clearly is the end of the summer, despite a nice day yesterday. I can feel it in the mornings, the flat is really cold! But I don't mind too much as we are off on holiday to Majorca on Saturday for a week, yay!

Have had a good few weeks since the last exepod post, had a fun game of Poker at the Double Locks (I lost), have been watching a lot of motor racing, F1, BTCC and even some of the ALMS series from the states. I have also rediscovered my GT Pro Series game on the Wii, and am excited at the launch of an official F1 game for the wii next month.

We also went to a fun walk to Turf Locks one evening...

Will try and blog after the holiday with some pictures, and if anyone has any ideas for the next exepod, or wants to help in recording it let me know, would be nice to have more than my voice on it.

Exepod - Blues night at the Bridge Inn

Bridge Inn

Monday night and I forfeited poker to go down to Topsham to go to Blues night at the Bridge Inn, My friend DT had his guitar and his wife Zoe and their son Patrick also came along for the ride!

Bridge Inn

It was a fun night catching up and some mostly great music, DT played a couple of songs and I terrorised him with my MP3 recorder!

The Bridge Inn is a great old fashioned pub in East Devon (as I am sure you can see from the pictures) and always provides a good nigh whether there is live music there or not, a range of superb ales always ensures I will drink slightly too much just because I want to try as many as possible!

The evidence of too many beers is all too apparent in exepod episode two!

Exepod - Wiscombe Hill Climb.

wiscombe sept 2009 042

Announcing the first ever Exepod! It is my first attempt at podcasting, and although it is far from perfect I am actually pleased with how it turned out!




It was recorded today at Wiscombe Hill Climb, the weekend of the Five Clubs Championship. Myfriend Steve was on the hill with his Impreza, and while I was there was doing very well!

Unusually there were loads of Red Flags on the hill, the track was very slippery under the trees, and for the first time ever I saw cars turning over! Luckily no one was hurt in either incident, but is was very dramatic.

First there was this mini, The first picture taken moments before the accident.
