Commonwealth Games - Final Day


Final day of the Commonwealth Games so headed to Glasgow one more time.

Early train again and managed some shots of the women's cycle race and the weather held, albeit the light was poor.

Then across to Merchant City and saw Charlie Flynn and Josh Taylor with their Gold medals from the victories at the Boxing.

Back across the city for the men's cycle race but sadly the weather had deteriorated and now I had to contend with the rain.

Worse was to follow as the rain became torrential and that ended the day as far as the photography was concerned.

Thoroughly soaked - despite the waterproofs - it was time to head back to the central station and get the train home to dry out.

The Games have been awesome and Glasgow has more than lived up to it's reputation as the 'friendly city'.

Back to near normal tomorrow, though the closing ceremony - from the comfort of my settee - will be watched on TV later.

Glasgow Commonwealth Games Marathons


Another trip in to Glasgow today and the first item on my agenda was to get some photographs of the Marathon.

Early start for a Sunday, and the train was packed with excited people and families as they headed in to see their favourite sports.

A good feel about the town again, and I tried three locations to vary my shots.

Small Ships Race 2014


This event wasn't too clearly publicised with an itinerary that I could find, but went down today to see what I could of the participants.

The event facilitates young people from ages twelve to twenty-five to compete against other sailing vessels and their crews.

The fleet has vessels ranging in size from a thirty-five foot bermudan sloop to a ninety foot gaff rigged schooner.

After the racing is complete, some of the vessels will join the Commonwealth Flotilla.

 The flotilla is expected to comprise of two hundred and fifty vessels that will sail from Greenock to Glasgow on Saturday 26 July this year.
