^ Ha! Am I getting a bit predictable Doktor P?! ;)
Just got back, no other transport taken! uploading... -
no? Wibble's Charon comment is genius, in my opinion.
However, I thought the use of other modes of transport for a tag is not entirely in the spirit of the game! ;) -
updated with the recent tags, in case any confusion remains
-
Out for this one, lumberjacking near Oxford today...
-
perfect opportunity for a multi-tag, you could fit Lots of bikes on that anchor
...A la tank pic on the taggy cat ride:
-
Thanks, can see it now...
-
can't see the new tag, sometimes nothing, sometimes a red cross
anyone else having trouble? -
Seems Taggy Map has a bit of an autumn winter cold at the moment - the link to the second page of captions in the side panel appears not to be working. I've noticed this with a few other custom google maps with 200+ locations at the moment.
It's not such a problem as all the pins still show at the same time, but for those who want to see page 2 of the captions, I managed a sneaky workaround:
Page 1 (1 - 200)
Page 2 (201 - 280+)Caveat: You still can't change pages from the map itself
That guy looks like some evil blend of Norman Foster & Alastair Campbell. Who is he?
-
coming along Albert Embankment and saw this, god knows how that happened
Evidently it was a collision with a boris bike, only minor injuries to crew and cyclist
Thankfully no one was seriously injured
Terrific double-tag linking here blue fleet ;-) -
KT Bee's not going to like me for this...
OLD
Fulham Palace Gatehouse, next to Bishop's Park

Right, found it too, it mitre gone by the time you get there KT! ;-)

- "I AM RUNG BY THE TIDES" apparently, although it seems that noone can work out quite how...
Ok, call me a massive geek if you may, but this one got me curious, I went down there today to find out more.
The mechanics of the bell intrigued me. I have since seen that the gate is also referred to as a 'micro hydro turbine' and this kind of makes more sense. You can see there's a single wire linking the bell to a wooden box next to the left hand gate. Housed in the box is a little bit like a giant toilet float. I imagine there's also some kind of dynamo inside whereby as the tide forces the float to rise, the energy is harnessed, converted to electric current, which then powers the bell. It theoretically would ring every time the tide comes in and out.
It seems the bell and the carvings were an art project called DELTA by a group called Platform in 1993 info
Looking at the right hand gate, I don't think it can open any more now that the bell has been installed, as the bell is in the way of the rotating screw axle of the gate, odd though.
anyway enough, happy to be proven wrong, but that's my interpretation..
Completely stumped on the gatehouse. - "I AM RUNG BY THE TIDES" apparently, although it seems that noone can work out quite how...

fake house at 145 rue la fayette
Ha, was at Gare du Nord couple of weeks back, but didn't know about it, next time...
It does a pretty convincing job, open windows, shutters...
The distinct lack of flower baskets in the balconies is just lazy though ;-) streetview -
really interesting, loving the history...
-
Oat, that link is private/hidden?
ooooops, fixed, thanks for letting me know.
pm me if anyone wants the originals

Ha! a bit ventriloquism was needed while we counted out the 30 seconds exposure time... It didn't help when I messed up one of the attempts and thought the shutter was still open, realising only after about a minute that it was just a normal 60th/sec shot!
slightly larger versions of the pics here
Thanks for the comments, still prefer rhowe's St Katherine's one! -
That was top
here's a few pics:
Taggy Cat, Taggy Cat, What have they been feedin you...?
Complete with lost-looking pizza delivery man
Totally worth it, great fun had by all -
I guess the clouds were the give away...

could throw in a few too
limehouse cut
http://bicycletagofbike.tumblr.com/post/9701936112Ooh! I think I know the way to that one^ ;-)
If we do go east I'd quite like to see the Middlesex Filterbeds, (if that hasn't been proposed yet)
The Katie-Coo 12 bike tag

Good work spybot, Dawson Hill (near the Horniman)- a hidden gem if you ask me - uninterrupted views all the way round from Battersea Power Station, Westminster, to Canary Wharf.
behind it was Dawson's Heights by architect Kate Macintosh when she was 26, visible in Spy's rejected metatag and this stolen flickr pic:

Right, bit of a cryptic one for a change...
OLD:
Anchor next to the BT dishes, near Woolwich Ferry North (the 'generous' Charon was inspired,
although what does that say about those crossing the Thames...?)
New, continuing the nautical theme in a way:
As I'm sure we know Charon also appears in Dante's Inferno.
I'm guessing Steve Coogan and Hugh Grant (amongst others) would like to consign those who work near here to a special place in Inferno, probably Circle 8, Bolgia 10.
