The Tram Tracks still under the road (in actual fact, under a traffic island that was here) at Victoria Parade near the Mallock Memorial. This is due to the road works in the area to reduce the traffic lanes to one each way, negating the current roundabout and to increase the pedestrian area. More information can be found here:

HMS Tracker is an Archer-class (P2000) patrol and training vessel of the British Royal Navy. Along with the batch 2 Archer class, HMS Raider, Tracker is part of the Faslane Patrol Boat Squadron based at HMNB Clyde.
Tracker is one of sixteen 20-metre, 54-tonne P2000 patrol craft operated by the Royal Navy. She is constructed from glass-reinforced plastic. As a "batch 2" vessel, Tracker has a sustainable top speed of 24 knots, faster than her batch 1 sister ships due to her more powerful turbocharged MTU diesels; she can exceed 24 knots in suitable sea conditions. Both Raider and Tracker operate in the force protection role, providing maritime security for high value shipping in the Firth of Clyde, and are armed with three general purpose machine guns.
Tracker commissioned alongside her sister Raider in January 1998, with Tracker replacing Oxford University Royal Naval Unit's previous training craft, Loyal Chancellor. She served with Oxford University Royal Naval Unit for sea-based training of both students and regular personnel in UK and European waters. In October 2012 both Tracker and Raider joined the Faslane Patrol Boat Squadron.

We call this part of my standard walk the "grass track"
Grassweg
Diesen Teil meiner Standardrunde nennen wir "Grassweg"
I regret never riding this frame. Sold on eBay for the prices of the Inflated Track Bike Scandal of 2007 as it will be known in 5 years.
got this on ebay before track bikes were trendy. it had a bad spray can paintjob and was not very clean. i took two years sourcing some needed parts and decals, then i polished everything up and had it professionally painted. the decals and lug lining were done after the paint by me.
this is the track we were faced with on day 5 of the hike. high altitudes are not for the faint-hearted.
new zealand, south island - 2009/2010
Driving the Strzelecki Track across the central desert land of Australia, the dunes lit up with the setting sun. An interesting unforgiving landscape, the tracks indicative of life in this harsh interior. A journey I would never attempt in Summer.
"During World War II, Japanese built railways in the border territory of Thailand and Burma and in Sumatra. For these constructions they recruited prisoners of war (POW) and Asian civilians, known as the Romushas.
The life and work conditions of these forced laborers were very miserable. More than 60,000 POWs, among them 18,000 Dutch, worked on the 414 kilometers long railway in Burma. About 20% of this number of people died during the construction. Around 6,500 POWs, most of them Dutch, were recruited for the railway construction in Pekanbaru. One third of these did not make it until the end of the war. According to experts, 80% to 90% of 100,000 Javanese forced laborers in Pekanbaru and 160,000 Romushas in Birma died during the construction of the railways at both places.
More than fifty years later, Jan Banning tried to trace survivors of the railway constructions. The result of it is the "Tracks of War", which consists of a series of photos and text of 24 survivors who worked as forced laboreres in one of those railway constructions. Jan Banning photographed 16 Dutch and Eurasian survivors and 8 former Romushas, now living in Sumatra and Java.
During the conversation and photo session, Jan Banning led these men back to their lives during the war. They are photographed in the way they worked those days: stripped to the waist."
