snow blocking the way in april

#64780, nearby

the road comes to a ford there is a bridge for cycles to the left which is lucky as I chickened out of this crossing. The path to the bridge is not ideal for road bikes but then neither is the road.

#64779, nearby

nice little spot to stop toilets round the back of the building.

#64778, nearby

the path is a fairly decent surface i have even seen people use road bikes not that I would advise it.

#64777, nearby

Nice little hut to duck out of the wind a moment or maybe even sleep the night. Close to a snack bar that is open during spring to autumn, so you can grab a nice bacon roll in the morning plus toilet facilities with cold running water.
