Toofarwest- I work in Burry Port and live in Garnant. Have we met?

May have bumped into you in Brechfa at some point, you know Guy?
Nick (can’t remember his surname) hails from your part of the world, he used to ride with Ken Gas and the fat boys when I first joined up with them.
I’m in Carmarthen and work in Clydach.

I know them well. Small world.

Two very nice old gate posts in the middle of a local wood, no clue as to what the gate was to.

But I wouldn’t want to paint it 😀

If you see either of them mention Mickey to them (Guy’s gone to USA now hasn’t he?)

Great topic!
But not many ruins in my bit of the Fens.
What we do have is miles of concrete tracks, made (so they say) by WW2 Italian POW’s to help with the potato harvest. 75 years of increasingly heavier farm machinery is taking it’s toll, most sections have huge slabs at odd angles, makes riding tricky when icy, or covered in mud.

Which part of Didcot would you like a photo of?

Photo of your bike on the ruins of the cooling towers please! 😉

A very well known ruin/landmark if you’ve ever been to Glentress.

Corfe Castle

Came across some old estate walls on today’s ride.

Think it counts as a ruin, somewhere on whites level SW

@drslow, only just saw your reply. It’s right by Celtic Footie training grounds in Lennoxtown.

I regularly see a few old relics on the Monday Night Pub Rides 😀

Castle Gorach above Dingwall

Found a few more while exploring the (VERY muddy) bridleways around here today.

Another Corfe Castle…

One tunnel I didn’t ride through – up in Blaenau Ffestiniog…

And one tunnel I did, on home turf in the Brecon Beacons

Took this today at a local quarry. Not sure what it is exactly but seems to be some sort of old hopper arrangement.

I’m surprised you can’t remember what it looked like when it was built….

A few of some abandoned crofters cottages in the highlands

Some from some WW1 ruins in Italy

High angle battery on top of Portland.
Before aircraft where common battleships had heavily armoured sides but relatively flimsy decks. The high angle batteries fired almost vertically so the shots would fall onto the target.
Lots of strange things up on Portland.

RedThunder – KingsWeston House folly?

Yes.

The Echo

The Echo is a loggia at the end of the southeast axis of the building, with a facade of four piers of rusticated stonework, of which alternate courses are projecting and vermiculated,[21] It has large vermiculated keystones at the heads of the three arches.[21] It is attributed to Vanbrugh, its features being almost identical to a Vanbrugh design of 1722 for a single archway.[2

PS Lost my spare camera battery in that pic 🙁
