ABC Towns and Villages

[Dogtrousers]

I think Jervaulx Abbey would make a great J. But that's just me, if it doesn't really cut it for you (not being a Town or Village) then it will always be a bit of a stone in your shoe.

Cheers for the comments - See how I feel tomorrow - Jervaulx would be a ride in it own, although it could include a more substantially sized I than the rather tiny one I have, but again couple of possible uses of Shank's Pony if I go the shortest way (and certainly would not come back that way as the return would be steeper). Alternatively the church at Jennyfield could neatly be followed by Knaresborough or Killinghall, Littlethorpe, Markington and Nidd so that does look favourable. I've been posting on the Your Ride Today thread as I've not actually photo'd the bike itself as I use a sportscam mounted on the handlebar.

I was going to use Jervaulx Abbey (or the tea ROOM) though realistically too far to ride and I didn't feel I could justify the car drive out to get close. Luckily devine intervention happened (see my posts) and I got my J, remember this is all your ABC, and make it fun and a great memory

Seeing as my idea of having a campover for out of the way places has gone out the window, I've reverted to places closer to home.
Here's my B.

 

[Salty seadog]

Where's Reiver? Is he out yet?

I've been stuck on i for ages.

Jacobstowe in Devon is a 110 mile round trip, which I had planned to do with an overnight b and b stop, before everything went crazy. I'm thinking of taking the tent now. A bit worried about getting enough food on the way. Hmmm.

As Queensbury would mean climbing at least four watersheds have an idea for an off tangent Q and its population is certainly bigger than that of many villages.

ABC on Saturday 26.4 miles:





D & E on Sunday 21.3 miles - excuse the photo for E - couldn't work out how to download from my phone, as the rechargeable batteries
in my camera gave up!

@Willd that Ansty sign is spelt wrong . Everyone knows the proper Anstey has an E in it

It would be rude not to at least to get A as I live there
View attachment 446919
This sign is less than 100 yards from home but I did cycle there via 16 miles

But it would be a 50 mile round trip I have done an Anstey ,Ansty to Anstey trip

 

[Willd]

F - H, just over 21 miles:




Now it gets a bit trickier The nearest "I" I can find is about a 52 mile round trip, which is a bit further than I've been so far

Picked up a C today.
