Is that the CB you blagged from that geezer in Staines?

Quick walk around Acocks Green, whilst I'm supposed to be working, to find FB1412 on a buttress on St Mary the Virgin Church, Warwick Road.
Not the best pic, but as it was in a dark graveyard, I wasn't hangin' around!
Apparently, there's another one on the school opposite but the gates were locked and I couldn't spot it in the dark.

There won't be much movement from those within it.
And on a night like tonight, fog getting thicker, a figure in black appearing out of it tends to help anyone on their way.

It sure is - you have a good memory, Sir! Rides like an absolute dream. Not super quick by modern standards, but no slouch either, but rolls so beautifully it's an absolute joy to ride.

In Saturday Market, the name of the 'place', not simply because of the day of said Market
I believe there's a Wednesday Market (place) too
Seen over the market- stalls

Back across that way again today!
Took daughter to boyfriends, at Hull, so she didn't have to try & park near the University
Came back over the old BoothFerry Bridge (A614), & through part of Goole
Tried to get a good vantage point, for a picture of the two Water-Towers, but too awkward (or stopping places were)
I did find the WindMill at Morrisons though!!

More infrastructure from Grafton Underwood yesterday.
I rummaged around the woods to the east of the road (the black dashed line) this time.
(I really should charge my phone
)
One of the larger buildings 'hidden' in the woods. Probably the Officers quarters.
I doubt it's a swimming pool, but definitely something to do with water as there's some pipework in it.
A WW2 urinal and my Defy2
There's still masses of stuff to find in the area. @biggs682 @Drago We could bimble up there sometime..

Final pics from yesterdays foray.
On top of one of the bomb shelters. Note the Trig Point in the background to the the left of the square hatch.
The same bomb shelter, from near the TP.
A decorated pillbox, unfortunately with a large concrete slab placed over the entrance!
The treeline across the field is where the TP and other buildings are lurking.
All of the airfield is on the Boughton Estate and, apparently, they don't mind visitors, dog walkers (apart from within the grouse and pheasant breeding area.) Cycling seems accepted as well.
