Morecambe
It was a lot busier than I expected, but we still didn't really get close to anyone

Yesterday afternoon #6
Sunderland Point
(Lune Estuary, just south of Heysham)

Obviously not a name used nowadays, but this isn't Orwells 1984 & you can't change history

Yesterday afternoon #7

On the drive back, over the tidal marsh-land to 'dry-land'

I've driven over the causeway to Lindisfarne a few times, & have run over Morecambe Bay, but this feels odder!
Maybe it's because there's no real line of sight, just the gullies & mud-banks?

And an October 2004 image

Morecambe

If you ride east to west, you get to approach the magnificent Midland Hotel
Obviously, west to east is favourable, as you get Lancashire over with!!!

Yesterday afternoon #9

Burton-in-Lonsdale
I only spotted it at the last moment, to the point of ABS kicking in, on the gravel at the road-side

It's a West Riding (of Yorkshire) boundary stone

I got a pic of that BM on my LEJOG this time last year!

 

[PeteXXX]

A few finds on my pedal around Milton Keynes t'other day..

An easily spotted BM on St Mary's Church, Woughton on the Green.

Slightly neglected iron mile post just up the road from the Aston Martin factory in Newport Pagnell. If that was in my front garden it wouldn't be in that state!!

A newish direction plaque in, I think, Campbell Park.

And an old signal post on one of Beechings closed lines, Wolverton to Newport Pagnell.

This signal is all the remains of the old station.

 

[Drago]

If you ride a couple of miles further along you can still see the remains of the platform at Great Linford.

When this virus thing is finished we could meet up for a ride around the 'Keynes.

 

[PeteXXX]

I went past Gt Linford station as well. People tend to forget that MK district has so many of the old hamlets & villages within it. Once you get past the new estates, there's loads of history there, and all accessible via the Redways!

 

[Drago]

Just off the Railway walk near great linford is the higher order benchmark near Great Linford Manor. Theres also supposed to be a bolt near the canal at the Black Horse pub but I've never managed to locate it.

I know the Redways aren't without their flaws, but I really like them. You can travel from pretty much any one point to another in the town without touching a road, and in some of the older parts of the town they're quite delightful.

The canal, the Black Horse pub or the bolt?

 

[Drago]

The bolt is near the pub, which is near the canal at Great Linford.

I'm not sure this should live in this thread, and I'm not a fan of graffiti or 'tagging' but these I will make exception for - found on an exposed rock face on Sheep Pasture incline on the High Peak trail
