Cycle to the Mill....


Another day of winter sunshine, but with a midday day high tide and being Sunday 2nd Jan and most local shops not open we bet (correctly) that the coastal car parks would be rammed with day visitors and no beaches with the high tide so we cycled a loop on farm tracks and field side trails along the old Smeaton Mill, tracks were a bit muddy in places but on the whole the going was ok and we didn't really struggle for grip on the beach specced 5" tyres on our Surly Pugsley 2.0 bikes...


Not all the sprouts have been harvested yet despite the festive season passing!




Gravel tracks on our err `Gravel Bikes` lol!...

Knowes Farm, I used to rent a cottage here when I first moved out from home, it was freezing in winter, one morning the tea was frozen in the tea pot sitting on the kitchen windowsill!...


2 feet deep and fast flowing today...


Was a lovely winters day to be out cycling again...


At the Mill we stopped for a look around as all was quiet and had the place to ourselves, before returning home on the John Muir Way trail...




Wee film, song is `Cello Man` by Nick Drake,


More soon...
