Weekend photo challenge 29th/30th January 2011 – Page 2 – Bike Forum

There's been a few suggestions on the last thread, but I want to go with one of my earlier ideas. The theme for next weekend will be [b]measuring and marking the land[/b]. If that's too cryptic, just stick with [b][urlpoints[/url][/b]. If you want to try to find something a bit different though, well, there's milestones and mileposts for a start and the less common boundary stones, all marked on OS maps. There's also various dykes and walls marking the boundaries of ancient kingdoms and empires. There's summit markers on hills and flood depth markers in valleys. Anything similar with historical importance or interest will do. How do people feel about making this a week long challenge from now on, rather than just a weekend ? Some people work shifts or have other commitments at weekends, so they might find it easier to get out during the week. There will be a lot more midweek evening rides going on once the weather warms up and the days get longer too. Shall we start this one at midnight tonight then, so it's Monday to Sunday ? Or would Saturday to Friday be better ? Or just stick to weekends, it's not like I'm too bothered if people post on the wrong day.

Pole bank along the Long Mynd - cracking ride this morning, lovely and crisp with some icy patches running down Minton Batch to keep you on your toes!

Allermuir Hill in't Pentlands

(ok, rather missing-the-mark regarding 'this weekend', but I'm claiming poetic licence as I've barely been out since our boys birth in early December... 🙂 )

Taken not far from home on the A246 - I was going to do the trig points on the Surrey Hills but I though loads of people would have done that!

Not a monument but this was on the West Highland Way on Sunday which is a kind of an OS feature...
