Muni photo session, Princetown UK, THIS WEEKEND (October 7th or 8th)

rob.northcott · 2006-10-03, 07:10 PM

A journalist has contacted me wanting to take pictures for an article he's writing for the Telegraph paper. He lives near me, so the photo session would be on one of the trails near Princetown, either Saturday or Sunday afternoon (day to be confirmed on Thursday evening).

He's asked if I can find any other muni riders for the pics, so if any of you are up for coming down for an afternoon this weekend, please let me know ASAP - also which day you could make. We could go on a ride afterwards, assuming the photo session doesn't go on too long.

Update: Sunday afternoon is looking to be favourable.

Bump one last time. Looks like Sarah and Paul are going to be there, but anybody else would be a bonus.
It'll almost definitely be Sunday afternoon.

No problem - it was very short notice. The bloke rang Sarah yesterday, who put him on to me as he lives near me (actually on my regular unicycle commuting route but he claims he's never seen a unicyclist). He's apparently managed to scrounge a unicycle from UDC (presumably in exchange for a mention in the article) and reckons he's going to learn to ride before the weekend... he's meeting me tomorrow evening for a "lesson".

Could be interesting.

I met up with Chris, the journalist, this evening. He spent half an hour or so with my 20" and was looking like he'll learn quicker than I did. He's borrowed the uni to practise, so it's possible he may even be able to ride it at least a bit by Sunday - I was quite impressed.
We've arranged to meet at the Plume of Feathers pub on Sunday (8th October) at 2pm. Sarah and I will probably be going on a muni ride after the photo session if anybody wants to join us at the last minute.
