It was very atmospheric in the Pinewoods in #Harrogate the other day- autumn colours muted by the mist…

Good grief. As a Jags fan, that’s not a score you get to see very often!

Another image of Rievaulx abbey from last weekend- I really like the angles and patterns made by the ruins against the cobalt blue autumn sky

Possibly the most #Scottish thing ever… the Irn Bru gets its own aisle in the supermarket! 😁

Rievaulx Abbey detail. Astonishing that so much remains intact nearly 500 years after its dissolution.

Lowther Hill has the highest tarmac road in #Scotland- closed to traffic, but you can #cycle up. The forecast yesterday was pretty good- but the road disappeared into fog at about 500m. Then, only about 30m below the top, I broke out into brilliant sunshine. Amazing- best day on the bike this year!

Early start this morning to beat the rain- well worth the effort, brilliant loop in the Forest of Bowland with 2 excellent climbs- Cross of Greet and Bowland Knotts. Great views of the #Yorkshire 3 peaks, and hardly any traffic #cycling

Rocks on Traigh Mheilein on Harris, with the Isles of Fladaigh (left) & Lewis (distance). Remote even by Scottish standards- 15 miles along a dead end road, then an hour’s walk over a steep headland. Worth it!

Whixley Phoenix #sportive today- new long route reaches N York Moors, with a couple of nice climbs & great views of Byland & Rievaulx abbeys. Rain held off- but nasty headwind on return route took a toll… thanks to everyone involved in organising it, and for the coffees at the feed stops!

Back in God’s Own County again, and out on the bike. Did a circuit around the 3 peaks. Great to be out, but the climb out of Dentdale nearly did for me…. Ramps of 20% that just seemed to go on and on… 😳😵‍💫
