Default Down Memory Lane.

Today I think I finally put to rest, a recurring nightmare I've had since my off.

I conquered that darn road that was my downfall on the Hardy Bikers Ride !!!









What a beautifully desolate place,


Save for the odd woolly




Where better to sit and reflect than at this vantage point. For some bizarre reason I was humming the tune to 'Onwards Christian Soldiers.....' as I was riding along







Quick bite at Slaidburn, then on to a very deserted Devil's Bridge







Thanks BluePete for pointing me in the right direction.

great piccys again mel, and well done.
i've had 2 offs at the same bloody spot, both due to ice the second time i was convinced it was clear, and i can go round there in the summer and i'm still reluctant to crank the bike over, i'll do it one day.

That's the road from Clapham railway station, Keasdon road over to Stocks Reservoir. I love it. I generally do it t'other way round. carrot cake in Slaidburn, over keasdon to Clapham, the down to Devils or Hawes via Ingleton. not the boring settle route

Nice to see the photo of Petes Grandads Bench
