I was thinking about your K yesterday and I thought of Eye Kettleby and I couldn't think of an L ! . Forgetting the village next to me is Newtown Linford !!! . How busy was the park ?

Park wasn’t too bad, busy enough to slow me down, not busy enough for me to go the hilly way

Was hard work getting to Ab Kettleby, headwind all the way, flew down to Barrow though.

Almost at the end first time around. 32 mile round trip to get Yeolmbridge. Only Zeal Monochorum to go! Have already done Zennor but it doesn't count because 1) It was done out of alphabetical order and 2) I didn't cycle there from home.

 

[Spartak]

I've only managed A & B so far...

But I did find a Z whilst cycling in Belgium 🇧🇪 this week...

 

[Willd]

Also started the second word variant today

Cold Ashby
Husbands Bosworth

Z might prove tricky as South Zeal is nearly a 400 mile round trip

I'm planning on doing Ashby de la Zouch, that's doable from Rugby

I'm sticking strictly to the second word, so that'd be a D I am going to try to find more challenging ones than In for an "I" or On for an "O" though

Did Q and R on the second word variant today. Threw a spoke and had to ride just over 75 miles with a wobbly front wheel, that was mentally knackering as I worried if I would have to call the team car. Also physically knackering as I tried to stay seated so as not to put undue weight on the wheel. Anyway got the signs and got home safely

I must admit this is what I originally intended, but I think what @Supersuperleeds is doing has equal merit. As ever, it doesn't really matter as long as we're encouraging ourselves to seek out different routes.

I seem to have been neglecting this thread a bit; I picked up Q over a week ago, and it will look a tad familiar:

The Quintons, Upper and Lower, were positively bristling with signs. Some old, superseded ones have been left in place. My choice for the photograph was strongly influenced by the need to pee.

I did have an R lined up that day but time was against me. I have a plan...

 

[Aravis]

Plan successfully executed. I'm enjoying the sun and views in County Durham at the moment:

Electrical assistance essential around here, for me anyway. 👨‍🦳
