Ah, we are now playing 'Locate Those Masts'. I'm sure that somebody will recognise them, but I don't!

Wow, I'm always in awe of two wheeled recumbent riders, especially long distance riders.

Nice try at trying to narrow down the location but no, not that audax. It was 434km this year as not allowed to cross Humber Bridge between 9pm and 5am. Though I rode 443km due to a couple of navigation mistakes when not concentrating on the route.

I will give a clue which will narrow it down. Greenwich Meridian.

We have a winner. Over to you. The Meridian runs right past the boundary of one of those masts.

That's the second Meridian themed NTR. I did one in Sussex a while ago.

I remembered @Ming the Merciless mentioning twin masts near Royston on a hunt a few months back too, and know the meridian runs pretty much up that way and it looked that sort of countryside

It sure is, thought it would be an easy one, but as i'm riding over it on Thursday I'd stick it in.
Its a swing bridge over the canal, so it you've every fancied stopping traffic, hire a barge and you get the key that enables you to operate the barrier and bridge, as it unmanned!
Its a lovely place for a pint in the sunshine too.

whilst your road went over a canal, this road goes over somewhere...
