		<description>Gentlemen (are there any ladies yet visiting this forum?),

Thank you for your kind expressions of appreciation. 
The photograph was taken with a humble cell phone camera, though a bit of patience was necessary to get the composition right - the Falkirk Wheel turns with a majestically slow speed that suits it (and me) very well indeed. 
Another option to see it in motion is here, by the way:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Falkrikwheelanimationmedium.gif
I was also lucky with that lovely evening sun.

While the Falkirk Wheel was the destination of my first proper tour since taking delivery of this 3-speed Guvnor in April 2009, there were many other sites of interest along the route I took there: The Union Canal connecting Edinburgh and the Clyde Canal leading to Glasgow.
You are most welcome to retrace the route through the photographs and vignettes I have posted here:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=167922&amp;id=689104086&amp;l=1127948e91 

As I write this, an idea is taking shape in my mind: 
Would Guvnor owners based in southern Scotland, and those willing to travel there, sometimes be interested to take part in a run to the Falkirk Wheel? Perhaps cycling to meet there from different points of departure could also be an idea worth entertaining.
I assume also owners of other cycle models may be motivated to partake. However, I personally prefer the company of rather fewer riders without the usual urge to emphasize speed over sportsmanship and to don loudly coloured exoskeleton attire.

I shall return here on occasion to see if this idea catches the imagination of others. Or do we have a separate page to debate such initiatives, James?</description>

		<description>A wonderful and elegant solution, occasionally modern British design and engineering can still hold its’ head up on a world level.
I&#039;ll try and get to the Anderton Boat Lift in the near future and get a few pictures of it&#039;s Great Grandfather.</description>

		<description>Wonderful piece of kit! 
Inner workings not unlike the Sturmey Archer hub gears on the 3 speed Guv&#039;nor?
Safe riding one and all.</description>

		<description>Thought this was a front cover shot for R.I.B.A.&#039;s journal!
Amazing piece of engineering, bicycle too.
So many of you seem to have the eye for a good photo!
Ride on!</description>
