Yet another sunny day, but this time the wind was supposed to be much lighter than of late. Almost warm, as well.
I wanted to do a longer one. Ideally, and if I may invoke imperial measurements for a moment, I’d have liked to do a 100-miler. Alas I had to be home by about 1830, and my Echo Dot was claiming that the temperature was fridge-ish before about 1000.
I did the eastbound route, but a bit further than last time, past Stainby. Would have loved to go another 20 km further east, but maybe next time. Went through Stanford and Burton on the way out, Wymeswold and Rempstone on the way back. Used the longer route through Griffydam and Peggs Green over the last few km.
Really, really nice out there. Glad I did do the eastbound route though because the wind was a bit more forceful than I was led to expect.
Speaking of ’70s sitcoms, as we were earlier in the thread, or at least alluding to them – Bob Grant, who was Jack in On the Buses lived in Waltham, which is on this route, in the 80s and 90s. I sometimes stop at the Deli there.
