Just a potter about this morning, on the CGR
I did head along the 'Trans-Pennine Trail', between Methley & Woodlesford (Lemonroyd, I think?) Lock, along the River Aire. for a distance, leaving it via Bollough Lane, back to John O Gaunts



This map (below the image, is the approximate stopping place where I took mine, but that photograph is looking in the opposite direction

The road to Orseddwen.

Went for a short run this morning, supposedly to see how I feel for Sunday

Took camera with me


Looking to the north-west, from this bridge; http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/366401



A small pond, that's surprisingly not in Geograph!!

But, if you look at the map in the link above, it's off the lane, from the Church, that crosses the railway

Got fed up painting the bathroom so went out on the bike. This was my lunch break at Thornton Reservoir, Leicestershire.

Just out of curiosity would it be possible to see that pic in colour?

On the bike near Achiltibuie and the Summer Isles today. Watched a golden eagle being mobbed by buzzards not far from where these were taken.

On my usual route, I saw some deer crossing the road. They jumped over a barbed wire fence like it was a door step. I had just enough time to take out my smartphone and take a few photos. Not the best quality, but a rare moment, nonetheless...

I live quite close toThornton reservoir.Have never cycled round it.

I have walked the dog there and befor my knees started protesting used to run round the reservoir.The garden centre opposite the car park entrance has a decent cafe.

I'm posting this first one, not because there's anything special about the photo, but because I've never seen it like this, ever. I normally cycle through Hyde Park, but the cycle routes were closed there today because of some runners running. Having just crossed over the perma-traffic of Hyde Park Corner and wishing to avoid doing that again, I asked a nearby Marshall for alternatives, 'go up Park Lane' they said....really, THE Park Lane? I have done before, but I'd rather not, its 4 lanes of traffic in EACH direction, so is essentially a reduced speed limit motorway...but today this section was closed off, 4 lanes of inner city motorway and I had it all to myself, cycling one handed up the middle taking pics with the other hand, not something I've ever had the chance to do before, and may never do again!

And this was followed shortly after by another first for me, going through Regents Park I realised I was'nt the only one enjoying the nice weather and stopped briefly to share a minute with some giraffes, as you do

Parallel lines.

This was mid-ride, and is the main line near Tiverton. My Paris-to-Rome friends and I did a slightly bonkers route, from Exeter to Taunton, crossing all the road bridges over the M5 between the two places... 34 in all, in a 70-mile route.
