Weather did not hold. But I did get some fenders at the co-op, look like old Esge fenders.

Lovely ride out today, 80 miles, but still with time to spot a few Bench Marks, and one Flush Bracket..
First one.
A BM on St Mary in Arden church, Market Harborough. I did check a few other places in Harborough, but came up dry. I didn't have too much time to stay there though..
Then a BM on Valley Farm, Slawston.
Just as I rode past it, I spotted, under the ivy, the BM in Great Easton.
Cheekiest 'spot of the day' BM was on a bridge approaching Southwick. Only just noticed it and had to turn back for a pic!
As I was in Southwick for the World Conker Championships, I thought I'd better check out the church.. Sure enough, a bit eroded, but there it was.
On a converted farmhouse, I spotted a Flush Bracket.
Strangely, no other decent looking old stuff was observed! Maybe I was concentrating too much on the ride

Conkers looks like a game we played with buckeyes, a closely similar tree and seed. Where I grew up, there were many buckeye trees. Here, there are none I have been aware of.

BTW, still not up to distant bike rides, one attempted today, but only got about 4 miles and turned for home.
That’s my back light

Okay, that was unsettling.
I think a peaked roof may help a bit, and a few more windows.
And

Beeley Moor, a classic
What makes this one a little more interesting is that a Companion Stone has been placed next to it: http://companionstones.org.uk/site16/card1.htm

Buckeyes and conkers seem to be of the same family of trees. Aesculus.

Ran past this guide-stone on Sunday morning
I'll be honest, it was my 8th race there, & the first time I've actually noticed it
Maybe there'd always been someone to my left at that point? (or I was too busy looking at the ground & panting?)
Scroll down 6 rows; https://get.google.com/albumarchive...m503Vnx7OD41nEmPjPBcKiWWhoCJL0_JVm?source=pwa
Quite soggy up there too
