I'm back in the game! Given various issues and ailments I haven't added any new tiles since about June last year and I'm still not quite fit enough to expand the borders of my cluster (after all it takes about 30 miles to even reach the nearest edge at the moment), but I did pick up one of my missing tiles between Silverstone and Buckingham on today's ride.

I'd come close to getting it on a previous ride many years back, but when I got there, you had to go through a farm yard first and then there was a closed gate across the path, so thinking I'd maybe got the wrong route or that it was private land, I backed off and thought maybe it wasn't to be. But having looked at the maps again it seems as though the path was officially a bridleway, so knowing I was heading that way today, I planned to actually try my luck.
Unfortunately once you got past the gate it was a very muddy path that had then been further churned up by tractors - maybe should have waited until summer when it was drier in retrospect, but I was determined not to be denied this time. Bike definitely needs a good cleaning now!
