Another nice day if a little windier than I prefer. Things to do this morning and this evening, but plenty of time for a Bypasser. So, that’s what I did.
Pretty much the same route as last time, except that I had a bit of an excursion toward Dordon at the south-western end. I took a left turn from Grendon Road on a whim. Didn’t think I’d been that way before but I recognised the junction at the end of a road called Dunn’s Lane, so I have. Perhaps I’ll have a look at the segment explorer function on Strava and find out when.
Once again on the way back up I took a detour to Nailstone, but I took a shorter route from there to Ibstock this time. Saw a beautiful shiny blue steam engine parked outside the pub at Carlton. Would have taken a pic, but because I’d left my usual phone on a charger at home I only had my non-smartphone Nokia with me. No camera. However, I did find a pic of it online (I searched on its name, ‘Baltasha’).
Listened to 5 Live, mostly discussion about the almost-upon-us Olympic Games from Paris.
