Arnside this morning as I sat with a brew from my favourite coffee shop

Very nice indeed, quite a while since I've been to Arnside

Ah would that be next to good old Ferrybridge C power station ?
I worked very very close to that before meeting my wife and been dragged over the border

Not very creative, but my new addition arrived today.

I like the koga race bikes, different and unusual to see. That's a real smart bike. You will have to report on how it rides

Yes, the 1805 bridge, over the River Aire, at Ferrybridge, plus the (old coaching Inn) 'Golden Lion'
The sign is at Brotherton, near 'The Fox', where the GNR & 'Tadcaster TurnPike' split

The golden lion where a car pulled out and knocked me off my motorbike as I left work, throwing me into the path of an oncoming bus under that very bridge.... Happy days
I used to cycle from Horbury, Wakefield into work if I wasn't away on site, or lazy, or on the motorbike

This afternoons blustery rides offering;

Still, with the 'Great North Road' in mind.....

All in Fairburn village, bordering the 'GNR'
Presumably the 'Newcastle' hints at one of the cities passed through by it?






Birkin Lane, with the Church in the background


Birkin Grange


Blueberry Sponge, at the Fisheries Café
(café photo is from 2014, not today)




Newton Lane
(road from Allerton Bywater cross-roads, to Fairburn village)
I'd come from the other side, but had to turn around, & come back through Ledston

The ARMCO barriers on the corner were covered, so there's about 30" of water at that point

Looked across the bay today at the snow capped lakes. Awesome view

It was a bit cold out today and in retrospect, going up into the hills was possibly a bad idea. I had cold feet for most of the ride and could have done with another layer on the descents, but it is November!

That was on the road between Todmorden and Bacup.
