Country lane somewhere in Lancashire.

Had a route in the sat nag but you see a road you like the look of and well off route the lady screams.
This is roughly where i went but some of the roads aren't on any maps.  ;-*









The water is Widdop reservoir between Hebden bridge and Burnley.

Interesting bit of road there.  I was always fascinated with the little bit of driving I did over there and Ireland, as to how close the houses were to some of the roads  :beer

I guess they didn't want to waste good farming land with their house.
You wouldn't want to meet a B-Double on those roads!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Compared to Australia we are a very very small island but we have a lot to fit in.  ;-*

Wow the UK could fit in Victoria.
But getting 63.23 million people into the small area of Victoria blows my small mind, considering Australia only has 22.68 million

Best estimates say we have passed 70 million and rising its even worse when you consider only 5 million live in Scotland.

And our politicians wonder why we get excited about immigration?
