Here

Lately this is mostly a feed of no, I have had it with feeds, let’s make this site actually have the things I get up to, and find interesting, amusing or timewasting in other places.

There

You can find me on goodreads, flickr, twitter, facebook, ravelry and pinterest among others, but I’m more at home here in my own space than in those other places.

Lovely amble around Leeds - almost ruined by findi

Lovely amble around Leeds - almost ruined by finding a huge narrow long set of stairs on #ncn67 thankfully a young woman helped me up with my heavy #electricbike or I think I’d have to have had a very long detour. I thought I was heading towards a retail park at one point but it turned out to be the motorway services (and I wasn’t the only non motorist there!) And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a real live Pegasus crossing before. #pedelec #oxygenbicycles #nationalcyclenetwork #ncn66 #westyorkshirecycleroute #leedsandliverpoolcanal #airevalleytowpath #leeds

WoW. That’s the Wonders of Wakefield waymarked cycle route. One of the wonders is predictably “I wonder what happened to a lot of the waymarks?”. Actually it was a very pleasant ride! #cycling #pedelecs #oxygenbicycles #electricbikes #ebike #wakefield #wondersofwakefield #yorkshire

Ride to Zennor to find it’s a bit of a one horse town without a horse. Lots of bleak Cornish moorland & sea views though. #cycling #ebikes #pedelec #cornwall #oxygenbicycles
