[biggs682]

Here you go from last week now the threads title has changed .

We have tried once before to see this place but got a strong no as not National Trust members etc etc

So seeing as i was riding past before it opened i decided to visit https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/lyveden

Its impressive and well worth an early morning visit , would like to try and see the sunrise there soon

I've been there a few times. It's a lovely place.
There's also an orchard with mahoosive number of varieties of apples!

That would be a project for someone, then.

Investment property. Ideal for keen DIYer who wants to put their own stamp on it. You can tell I've been on estate agent websites can't you.

Blimey!! How many times have I ridden past that, gasping from the climb up Hardwater..

In fact, I was within a hundred yards of it on todays ride, but I turned left towards Earls Barton.

A trip on virgin territory today.

I may get back out on the bike again tomorrow, hanging draperies in the galley today, and I had too many prawns and frogs legs for lunch.

Maybe when the undergrowth dies down a bit.

This mornings haul.

A couple of G R post boxes in Wilby

Then this stone on Wollaston infant school .

And another G R post box in Wollaston.

Maybe when the undergrowth dies down a bit.

Another look this morning via the Rugby club car park and I found it , to much vegetation to get the bike close . No lid to be seen , so dread to think about what it is like inside.

It is . Not sure I would like to go inside . Less than a mile away there is an old pillbox but it's in someone's rear garden.
