Dunwich Dynamo, 1st July 2023.

[Wowbagger]

I decided to take that selfie at Gosbeck after some guy with dreadlocks came up to me and said "You're the coolest dude on this ride. You know that?" That's where I was sitting when you and the spaniel were getting food.

I thought I would miss getting the gang back together this year, but from the sounds of things the reality of the modern ride just wouldn't hold a torch (or a dynamo) to my memories of the Dun Run at its best. It does make me want to resurrect the Dumb Run, but I doubt I could persuade many folk to come north for a completely unsupported bimble from Dumbarton to St Andrews.

Even if Grangemouth is utterly spectacular at night, in a Bladerunner kind of way.

That actually sounds pretty interesting, could be done by train easily enough, and could offer some semblance of a tour back down through/to Edinburgh and trains the other side. And yes, Grangemouth is a real sight at night, though I'd rather it be doing something else these days.
