Wapping and not Wapping

Well, I broke the Monday thing. To the extent that Monday was rubbish. However, the Sunday before was my best single day for ages. I was in Wapping, London. On the high street a 170 and 171 were parked in close proximity to each other. I could actually see both of them at the same time with one set of eyes.

Then as alluded earlier, Monday passed. But Tuesday was better with a 172 on the way home from work on the Leeman Road. This was not in Wapping, but in York where I live.

That means that for those three days I was averaging one spot a day. How impressive?!!

Ok, not very impressive. Tragic would be a better word. For this whole damn thing.

There's something about Mondays

I'm only spotting on Mondays at the moment. It's really annoying. I may as well just stay in bed from Tuesday to Sunday and not bother going out and looking at cars. It started two weeks ago. 167 at lunchtime on Lendal Bridge. Then a week ago, 168 at lunchtime also on Lendal Bridge. Today, I at least got a different time and location, since the 169 was heading down Leeman Road at around ten to six.

Current estimated time to completion: 204 years, 94 days and 2 hours.

Harrogate: CNPS Mecca

My most recent two spots have both been in Harrogate. Go Harrogate, Go. Sadly, I don't actually live in Harrogate and so this mecca of CNPS cannot help me on a regular basis.

I went to a wedding last weekend and whilst travelling in on the Saturday I got a 165 on the outskirts. Later there was also a 166 but I was looking in the wrong direction and failed to spot it. I eventually got my own 166 yesterday afternoon at 2pm outside Yates's Wine Lodge. It was parked by the kerb. Perhaps its owners had stopped for a glass of wine.

Scotland? S'rubbish!

I've just spent three days travelling to, being in, driving around and returning from Scotland. I didn't get a single number plate. This may be linked to the way I kept closing my eyes from time to time due to being sleepy. But still, it's really unfair.

I got a 164 yesterday though, once I was back. It was in the Leeman Road car park after work.

7 Songs. No, not songs. Cars

157 Fri 22 July, 1350 taxi on Lendal bridge
158 Mon 01 August, 1000, Huddersfield near the station
159 Mon 01 August, 1330, top of Phoneix Boulevard
160 Mon 07 August, 0820, also at the top of Phoenix Boulevard!

162 Fri 12 August, 2030, outside the K. Curry Centre in Sheffield
163 Mon 15 August, 1900, in that estate on the way to dancing

Between the 157 and the 158 listed above, I rafted down America's Grand Canyon. I thought it would be great, but it wasn't - there wasn't a single bloody car anywhere in it! Not even any American ones, not that they'd have been any use. Bally natural wonders of the world.

Lazy!

I've just found that I can send notes from my phone to the computer via Bluetooth. Hence the following:

148 wed 15 blossom st 1115 149 wed 0115 station st 150 19 jun sunday near hole of horcum 1545 151 mon 1855 junction of Water Lane and Bootham 152 mon 27 june in a drive in Clifton 1855 153 mon 4 jul behind HE's 1850 154 thu 07 1100 station rise 155 7 jul 1145 parked by the war memorial 156 mon 18 jul traf lights by work 1730

It's lazy but it works...

Two from the start of June

This is the first of two quick catch up posts. June has been pretty rubbish.

On Friday 3rd I saw a 146 on Lendal Bridge at a quarter to one. I can't remember anything else about it becuase it was a long time ago. 147 was the following night on Leeman Road, just after Dr Who had finished. That would make it around 1950.

And then there was a period of silence...
