Your bike in front of a gate pics

Mrs T Garmin 810 edge tour has bitten the dust tonight and she is after a new GPS.

Looking at the edge 830 but the £300 price tag is a bit high.

Can anyone tell me what maps the wahoo element uses?

Mapbox / openstreetmap 👍

The entrance into an old corrugated iron "cottage," there can't be many left in habitable condition but this is used as a holiday let and has a nice lakeside view.

There used to be a corrugated iron chapel near Coventry - it was replaced by a breeze-block/brick construction recently. I'm not sure but I think it's now a residential property too.

I understand that the "portable galvanized iron" buildings date from about the turn of the last century and were often mail ordered from Harrods:

I've suddenly been taking more of an interest in them recently as there are quite a few around when you look, although most are derelict now.

I hadn't realised these types of buildings date back as far as they do. I've seen a few CI churches and the like too over the years.

There is a very well known one in the southern end of the country which I always knew as a time warp shop. It was the sweet/ice cream stop on the way to the seaside on Sunday afternoons as a child. It was always colourfully painted and quite ornate and a famous landmark.The old man who ran the shop retired in 2006 and it's been vacant since and now looking the worse for the wear. There are people trying to get a protected structure order for it. I had only ever known it as a shop but apparently it was built as an Orange Hall in the 1890s.

Didn't dare lean the bike on the gate itself

Today is the last time I'll ever pass through these gates...

Is it being demolished? Or are you moving on?
