Now there’s a boat I wouldn’t mind seeing more of.

Second time volunteering at a #Waverley Lakes #Parkrun today. Did pre-event set up which allowed me to run it too.
I did feel like a bit of a spare part as it was set up quite quickly by people who knew what they were doing but I will probably become that person one day - learn by doing/watching.
No PBs as carrying an injury right now but a fun morning.

🏴🚲 #Edinburgh #Waverley #railway station has renewed its partnership with The Bike Station to pass on unclaimed #bicycles for refurbishment and reuse.
Each year, dozens of bikes are left at the station. Over the past two years, more than 60 have been abandoned after attempts to reunite them with owners. Bikes are stored in cycle racks for up to two weeks, then moved to secure storage for six months before being released if unclaimed.
On 22 April, around 30 bicycles were collected and taken to Polmont Prison for cleaning and servicing as part of the refurbishment process.
The Bike Station refurbishes and resells bikes at affordable prices, reinvesting income into #cycling access projects, maintenance training and schemes such as Kids Bike Life.
The initiative helps reduce congestion at busy #cycle storage areas while supporting sustainable transport, skills development and wider community access to #cycling.

@CiaraNi I thought the Waverley, based in Glasgow, was the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world. Unless the Baltic doesn’t count?

There was much talk of expanding the mezzanine overpass inside Waverley station, but it is far more logical to use the original entrances on Waverley Bridge down to the main concourse level. From there there are only five platforms that require a change of level- 1,8,9,10 & 20.
The remaining 15 platforms are all directly accessible from that level.Far simpler than trying to build a complete new mezzanine floor with lifts and escalators to ALL the platforms. #Scotrail #waverley #networkrail

We picked up a jigsaw when we sailed on Waverley recently as the money raised from sales helps with the upkeep of the vessel and we like jigsaws. It wasn't a very good quality puzzle, sadly, but it was fiendishly difficult as a lot of pieces were cut nearly identically with almost identical colouring. We rebuilt the edges and lots of sky and water several times in various fitting combinations before finishing.

Short bit of video from aboard Paddle Steamer Waverley yesterday on our little jaunt around the Isle of Wight with some views of the pistons and paddle wheels plus views of the island from the main deck.

A longer day than expected on Waverley today but thoroughly enjoyable. This is off the south coast of the Isle of Wight earlier. We were due back in Portsmouth at 19:00 and we arrived only to find a cruise ship was late leaving from our berth. The knock-on effect of that along with the logistics of ferrying to and from Waverley and Gunwharf meant we were nearly two hours late getting off. A bit tiring, but still wonderful.

Just passed Bembridge on the Isle of Wight aboard the paddle steamer Waverley and it is fabulously rocky on the ship. The wind and waves are knocking the ship up, down, left, right, and it's seriously so much fun. Watching everyone trying to walk at about ten degrees with pints in hand, everyone laughing.

The beach at Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight for #MeerMittwoch this week, and this was taken three years ago today. At the end of the pier you can see the paddle steamer Waverley, the world's last seagoing paddle steamship, and we'd sailed on her to the island from Portsmouth with the intention of then sailing around the island. Mechanical issues stopped that but this Saturday we shall be trying again.

Booked ourselves a little treat for next month (we'll pretend it's for my birthday even though we don't buy presents) and it will be a second attempt to sail around the Isle of Wight on the world's last seagoing paddle steamer, Waverley. Tried in 2022 but ended up spending the day in Yarmouth instead owing to some engine issues. Lovely, old vessel with an open engine room to the pistons and paddles.

The crankshaft and pistons driving the incredible ship #Waverley, 79 years old and the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world. In person the hypnotic sound and motion are accompanied by rising heat and the distinctive aroma of hot grease. It's epic.
(If your client allows it, right-click on the video and select "Loop"... 🙂 )

Fifty years since a heritage group bought the Waverley and lovingly restored this last sea-going passenger paddlesteamer https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mrryl2nm7o
Still happily sailing "doon the watter" of the magnificent Clyde Coast, and all around Scottish and UK waters.

For #MeerMittwoch here's a view of #Portsmouth from the sea, showing the historic waterfront with the Round Tower and Hot Walls to the right then the Spinnaker Tower and HMS Warrior to the left beyond Spice Island. Taken from the paddle steamer Waverley in 2022.
