Over Rogerson's Meadow, onto Grange Park...
Up onto the track...
...to the top of the track...
...turn onto a bigger track...
...turn off the bigger track...
...it's Festival Park now...
...three-quarters of a mile after leaving the house, the shops are in sight...
...and -hey!- it's a huge new modern Morrisson's supermarket, with a
PC World next door...
...zip down onto their car-park (they have cycle-locking)...
Having done the shopping... home a different way, along the flat...
...through the wooded cutting...
...and past the pools and new offices...
...and out onto a fifty-yard stretch of road...
...across a junction...
...and then slip down the cycle-path. That's not a pottery
waste-tip in the background - it's a state-of-the-art ski slope.
Under the new road bridge...
...and onto the lovely canal-side cycle-path...
(up on that hill was where I was in photo 4 - there's a good view)
...nearly home... Grade-II listed pottery kilns on the right,
recently restored
with an EU grant...
...the off-ramp for home.
Admittedly, the first track & grass section can be muddy/wet from October-April,
but then I just use the canal cycle-track instead.
