Leider war heute kein Dampfbetrieb bei der DFS. Das Bild mag ich trotzdem. 😃

Duminica, O zi plăcută de plimbare #sunday #sundaywalk #nature #naturephotography #weekend

Went on an “early morning“ (got up at 8:30 on a Sunday am I mad yes I am) walk today, using iWalk Cornwall and while the snippets of information it serves at each “stop” are interesting, they are a bit.. um… pedestrian. So. Here we go.

“This bridge is the site of the famous Pooh Sticks race between Sir Henry Smithely-Scuttlebutt (local landowner) and Lord Lloyd-George of Lymington, held in the summer of 1897.

The race is famous for its use of actual poo in place of the traditional stick. Smithely-Scuttlebutt lost the first race when his log disintegrated and sank before winning the second, but was forced to concede when unable to provide anything with which to contest the tie breaker. Lord Lloyd-George put his form down to ‘six bananas before bed last night and plenty of fibre don’tcha know’.

For fans of the sport, this was in the era before the rule permitting substitutes was added”.
