Memorials and bikes

[Nick Saddlesore]

The Sunday London ride on 10/11/19 will have a 'Memorials' theme. I'll post details under CC & Rec rides soon. Plenty of photo ops (mainly war related) followed by refreshment.

Went past this one on Saturday, it's in Cresswell Crags in North Derbyshire, 2 things struck me firstly was the age of the airmen, such a waste, but the DAD in the background, not sure if it's related to the memorial or just a quiet place for somebody to be remembered by.

Woodford war memorial

Hewitt with Alice Nutter, one of the Pendle witches, Roughlee.

spooky edit - realised that one of the witches was a hewitt.

No idea if a relation of Paul Hewitt.

The bike rides wonderfully by the way - perhaps mis-specced for my declared intention of using it for rough expedition rides but it's near perfect for day rides round Pendle/dales etc etc.
