I live in a county which has a fairly long coastline, but I have yet to venture there. Time to put that right:
R
S
(both difficult to capture the sea! Especially S, as I was disappointed not to find a standard road sign, hence going inland slightly to find the station!)
(Edit: realised original picture was cropped, not showing name, so have inserted the image from elsewhere!)

Collected my letter O today in Oxcroft. No boundary signs so I made do with the protest sign against fracking and the farm sign for good measure.

I have been struggling to create routes that connects two or more places since passing M. These were done over the last few days:

I am fully aware this is not really a V (nor is it my W!) but it is the closest I am ever going to get to one this year so I'm claiming it! It is also a little strange - posh and new-ish, with county crest, for a sparsely populated area. All bar one of mine have been villages, not towns, and none have 'Village' as part of the name on the sign. And I would not even call it a village, to me it is a hamlet - a small church and there might be a tea room. Certainly no public house. A proper W will follow!

Hopefully these will load in order
All taken from a ride to and from my grandads house in Peterborough yesterday
The final image from Peterborough was taken instead of the town sign that is situated on the A15 from Yaxley - I’m stupid but not suicidal
Quite a handy alphabetical ride
