The Old Packhorse Bridge

I think this is the remains of the bridge built in 1717, the cost of construction being a mind blowing £100.  Its main purpose was to ensure that funeral parties could cross the River Dulnain with dry feet when the river was in spate.

You are still able if you are very brave walk across this bridge and pose for photos, we didnt this time.  I would love to visit when the river is raging down this narrow stretch.

Posing on the pavement

We have spent the weekend camping, drinking cider & J2O and exploring the countryside around Cannich.  Stopped here on the way home a wee rest before the hairpins, twists and hills of The Lecht.

Not so lucky this weekend, we got soaked on the way home it could have been worse only had to ride from Ballater in a drookit state.
Its been good catching up with friends and hearing all about their travels in the past 12 months.

Travelling with Yamaha & Vango

The first week in May glorious weather and I was travelling.  My goal was to reach Lands End visiting friends & relatives along the way.
I found some great biking roads in the North of England, and later in the year hope to return to them and show Mike that not all England is built up cities.
I eventually reached Lands End at 1520hrs on Thursday 5th May having been on the road since Saturday 30th April.


Turned around Now Headin Home

 The Miles on the sign in no way reflect the miles I took to get here, lets just say it was not the most direct route, but it was certainly interesting.
Other than catching up with friends the trip highlights were riding the roads in Yorkshire (exposed, narrow, ups 'n' downs and very little traffic & eventually parking up at the sign at Lands End and realising how close home really is :-).
