My picture of the day-Where's yours?

It's not the bridge number because it's Altofts Bridge, Number 3, more info here, more likely to be a distance marker, I'm guessing to the Ouse at Goole

I did look later, in the evening, after that

Yes it is a milestone, as evidenced by this 25" OS map, from 1908
Marked in the standard way as 'M.S' (north of the over-bridge)

In that case, it will be to Goole, as that was the destination of the A&C N
I grew up not that far from the Canal. & can remember seeing the 'Tom Puddings' on the Canal, but in limited numbers, & Hargreaves barges moving sand/gravel along it

In Exeter Cathedral.

I've lost count of how many times I've played this. I've even lost count of how many times I've played it in Exeter Cathedral...

Went to Low Newton by Sea on the tandem today. As it's a dead end , we didn't bother going down the hill

Castle in the distance is Dunstanborough.

We did the Gunnislake line today as well - great fun, not least because I reckon it must be one of the slowest trains in the UK - mostly between 10 & 20mph, I reckon, and two unmanned/ungated level crossings where the train has to stop and toot its horn before proceeding. There's also the splendid viaduct at Calstock.

The Cruck-Framed Market, at Penistone

A marvellous structure

Making the most of the good weather with a local 30 miler on the fatty, found several of these guys modified for running on railway tracks, being used for some local line upgrades.

This squirrel jumped out of nowhere during Friday's ride. It never had a chance. Went right under me, getting squashed by my rear wheel. I looked back, but it didn't appear to be moving. R.I.P.

Seems wrong to like the post, but I know what you mean about them coming from nowhere. Had a recent near miss on a cycle path, luckily both of us escaped injury!
