A great weekend for an ABC ride:

Glad to get the clear sky as background to the name so the third letter might not be confused with a C, as it can be on many signs!
For G, I had a serious case of Dragons Green Syndrome - I was convinced there used to be a sign near here. Nowadays, just a crossroads and a pub. But on further investigation and retracing my ride in 4 directions, this was eventually found. No apologies for its classiness.
And lastly, H

I'm still out on the other side of Wigan with many more miles till I get home, but whilst sat on a bench I'll add the 3 I bagged today.
First up, Limbrick.
Next was Mawdesley, a few miles closer than the sign I was aiming for, but much nicer.
That allowed a new more direct route to Newburgh where again, I spotted a much closer and nicer sign than the one aimed for.
The sun is out, I'm sat on a bench by the canal drinking my tea and relaxed and happy

Struggled to find time for the ABC challenge recently, but tried a new scenic route home last week and realised I could get my B, despite best efforts by drivers to hide the sign.
Then got C but was in such a hurry when I got to Dorking that I didn't have time to look for a sign.
I'd better speed things up if I want to finish it this year.

This time I remembered to stop for "D".

Me and part of a bike earlier this week, at the start of a short camping break in Cornwall:
Interestingly, the campsite we stayed at was in a small village just outside Camelford, not the sort of place which usually has a boundary sign, but they seem proud of their name:
As this is firmly on many people's LEJOG route, it may be useful for some.
The campsite, Cherry Cottage, welcomes many LEJOGgers and, judging from the many messages of thanks, the owners may give a free night's accomodation as a contribution to the rider's charity . Not something I can guarantee on their behalf obviously, but their rates are generous enough anyway.

My first ride since 31st March, I thought I’d blag another couple of letters , S&T on the Trek.
Originally I was going for Streatley and Tidmarsh, along a not very nice lumpy road, but I discovered today a Tubney via Steventon, a tiny place with a sign, it was a flatter nicer route.
Tubney on this map is on the road where the bottom right corner of the A420 sign is.

The sun was shining but it was chilly when I set off this morning on my regular 40ish mile loop where M is the turning point.
Onward to Henlow and then Letchworth. Heading home I picked up N and O. The signs are all of 15 seconds apart.

Well done, not even 15 seconds apart. Reckon you could get one sign in then other without even moving the bike.
