Bike Ride

Looking South from Great Harlow towards Stocks reservoir and Pendle Hill

A daft boy has just jumped off Devil's Bridge into the river Lune

Hornby Castle from the Caton to Hornby Road


Morecambe Bay



Apolgies for the Absence - AGAIN - Went for a ride on my new Harley Sportster a couple of weeks ago, Initially I went to Slaidburn for a cup of tea at the Riverside Cafe, sadly it was Monday so they were shut. I decided to go via Dunsop Bridge up the Trough of Bowland to where I knew there would be a mobile caravan selling Bacon Butties and Brews. After that I travelled North to a point where there is a wonderful view of Morecambe Bay, From Blackpool to the Lake District. Then on a whim I carried on towards Lancaster, turned right for Caton and rode on via Hornby to Kirby Lonsdale.


I had another cuppa at the caravan by Devil's Bridge, got chatting with another old-boy on a rather aged Honda, and we rode back towards Slaidburn, via High Bentham and over a hill called Great Harlow. The top of that hill affords a glorious view southwards towards Slaidburn and Pendle Hill.


My one hour ride for a cuppa therefore finished up with me being out for about 5 hours and covering about 150 miles. Ain't life Grand?
