I've not been able to use this since my fracture as the stretch from the saddle to the handlebars was too long and caused lots of pain, so tonight I swallowed a few pain killers and went for a ride on the Paul Donohue built 853 tonight.

What was 'Britannia' up to, Scott?She's not one of MHR's locos, and is a mainline runner owned by the Royal Scot Locomotive Trust. Was there a steam hauled mainline service running from Alton?
An afternoon spin on the CX bike trying to tie in as many local bridleways and farm tracks as possible, some lovely views;
I was vaguely aware of a memorial to a WW2 bomber crew who sadly lost their lives when their Halifax exploded after an engine fire somewhere between Maidenhead and Marlow. While following a bridleway I came across the memorial, and huge crater created when the bomber hit the ground. What hit me was the age of the crew......
Difficult to see, but the crater is in the foreground in this photo;
A memorial wall built by a local Scout group was covered with the national flags of the crew, poppies and information about the flight;

A nice 60 mile ride around the outskirts of Liverpool out to Wigan. Even convinced myself to stop for a brew before climbing up the only big hill in the area. At the top there can be some impressive views out to North Wales but not today, just farmland and heavy clouds. Discovered my phone has a panoramic picture setting while trying to get some good shots.
