That second one is steeper than it looks in the pics and is the runout for the drop in the first pic.
Loads more here, berms, jumps, drops, etc and recently worked on judging by the wheelbarrows and tools stashed nearby.
Made it out into the New Forest in some glorious sunshine today. Glad I rode a bit farther from home as the Castleman Trail near home was heaving with groups of folks. Only saw about 5 other people in the distance in the 25 miles in the New Forest.
Took my camera and zoom lens out for my walk round Arthur’s Seat to take pictures of birdies. Some blur as it’s an old camera with no stablisation and the shots were handheld.
Crow
Nesting Jackdaw
Technically a terrible picture but I like it anyway
OK. I’ve been out this afternoon for the first time in what seems like months, with the camera, doing a bit of Geographing. So why not make an attempt to join in the fun here too? Let’s see if this works; wish me luck
The (mostly) dry and dusty Hubbal Lane
Pink primroses, not yer common or garden yellow fellas
Edit – Well, stap me, that worked. I’m officially gobsmacked.
Had a double Inguinal hernia op early March,was told not to cycle for 28 days,Thursday was day 31 so I got out on the road bike for a steady spin.
The sun was shining & with the bat flu situation the roads were quiet.
I did a steady 24 miles,following it up with 26 miles the next day.
Yesterday I had a rest,today I did 33 miles.
It was misty crossing the moss first thing.
Back to work tomorrow,next time I’ll get time to ride will be Friday,I just hope we are still allowed out next week!
Went out a bit later today, quite alot more out walking. Couple of large groups, apart from that most seem to be keeping the distance. Nice to see a couple of families out riding with the kids
