Come on now, you know

a) A sign pointing to village centre sign does not count
b) It is not in letter sequence

Just call it a bye if you don't want to do V.

If you go back we were told to be inventive so that's what i have been

I was hoping the fog would burn off during the ride but it hung around till pretty much the end. Never the less, back by popular demand for a second appearance we have the combination of Preston Deanery, Quinton and Ravenstone:

Apologies for the quality of the Quinton photo, for some reason the camera did not want to focus on the sign ..

Got a nice long ride planned for S, T and U, will have to wait until next Saturday though.

Finally a shout out to the sensible and patient drivers of South Northants and North Bucks. No nasty moments despite the fog, every one driving with consideration.

Me too, I think J had been omitted from the alphabet when they were naming places near me

Nice

At least one of those is on my list, you must live at the opposite end of the grouping to me

I'll keep an eye out for your bike propped against a sign

A lovely ride along the grand union canal (hence the change of vehicle) and a bit of road took me here

Now comes the hard part

I'll be loading the bike into the car when I'm back out to work this week

Better plan my week well !!!!!

 

[Oldfentiger]

T for Trawden.
Sun was out, roads were dry, so the butterfly bike got an early airing.
@CarlP That’s four now

Managed to nab my G, H, I, lovely day for it. Was hoping to capture the J, but I'll save that for next week.

That first image is great.

E is for Ettrickbridge, though on older maps it is shown as Ettrickbridgend. The "end" must have fallen off the end.
This village seemed appropriate for recent news as it was the scene for many negotiations in the 1980s between the liberals and the SDP about forming a new centrist party....
