On April 24th members of Local 2141, as well as members of Alexandria’s 38th Suppression Recruit Class, joined co-worker Monique Jackson-Asante and her family and friends to participate in the MDA’s Stride and Ride event at George Mason University. Local 2141 partnered with GMU’s Phi Kappa Alpha Fraternity to walk on behalf of Monique’s daughter Comfort who suffers from Myasthenia Gravis, a neuromuscular disease that causes muscle fatigue and weakness.

Had the dogs & the wife with me today; that's my excuse for not experiencing the Striding Edge route!

28th November 2013.
Flamborough Lighthouse - just before a very heavy shower came down.
I'm not entirely sure I can remember the editing steps I went through. I made my first changes in Lightroom - including the adaption to greyscale. Then used the gradient fill and the editing brush to alter parts of the sky. I've downloaded a Demo version of Nik software - which I love so I've also been playing with that. My first adjustment was to use one of the more naturalistic HDR effects (also in Lightoom) to tweak the exposure/ tones slightly. Then I did some more editing using Viveza. Though I could have selected areas in Photoshop and probably edited in a less patchy manner (would have taken me a bit longer - maybe). (I didn't use Silver Effects Pro, though I tried one or two filters.)
Striding off the back of the boat for the Try Dive. Of special note: that was with 20Lbs of weight, it would take antoher 22Lbs to get to the bottom! (30m)
The Striding Edge is one of the most spectacular climbs in the Lake District (I have yet to do it) it must be like walking on the Dinosaur's Back!
