I have driven , ridden and walked past this benchmark on Turvey bridge loads of times but only ever noticed it today.

There could be more this week.... well, there will certainly be next weekend

1. My Octavia has its MoT test on Tuesday, so I may have a wander down into Batley, whilst it's being examined
2. Wife, daughter & I are away in Chester next Fri/Sat/Sun
Therefore, I hope to return with lots for your delight!!

Been, travelled, photographed (lots!!)
Home for 20:00, via a very circuitous route; Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Llangollen, Betws-y-Coed, Llandudn

I've got about 550 images to look through, & decide what to use
