The climb goes from mid right to high left. Steep and bloody tricky

The climb up along the ridge looks easy, but it's tricky but amazing view at the top

I was telling some friends about your place and the off roading - think they might be interested in coming over some time! :D :D
Cool. I know all the best bits

Any clues as to where it is? It looks like it should one of those photogenic destination places.

It's Bridgnorth in sunny Shropshire - 20 mins up the road 👍

It's very picturesque - old market hall building, cliffs with caves, Severn Valley Railway, cliff railway, etc, etc.

Gets heaving with tourists in the summer months, but it's surrounded by some lush roads 😎

It's been lovely around here - roads were still 50% damp until around 11am but apart from that it's been great, even the farming detritus seems to have largely disappeared!

After a week in the city of lights for work I needed an escape to some green and pleasant countryside, stopping at Bosworth Battlefield for a quick photo opportunity.

Image

Then a bumble over to the Triumph Factory for a coffee and another photo.

Image

Finally a slow bounce along some green lanes with big puddles where I discovered that Velcro fasting for my number plate is not up to anything rougher than tarmac.
Even though i retraced my steps no luck finding the missing plate so it was a bit of a dodgy ride home waiting to get pulled and a fine, luckily i managed to get back without further drama.

The A442 north to Telford, or south to Kidderminster is good fun, or take the A458 as far as Morville and bear left onto the B4368 to Craven Arms, one of my favourite stretches of road.

We don't see many police any more and I haven't seen a walking one for years. 👍

My 'quick triangle' is A454/A442/B4176, when I don't have a lot of time but want a quick blast after work, or to bed in new tyres, etc. :thumbup:
For some reason I've not done the A442 south much - I might create a new loop down there and round Enville way.

My second ever ride out on the KTM involved the B4368, unsurprisingly enough :D

Nope. It's locally known as the Banshee Towers,or the Turrets. Between Carrick and Ballycarry.

Ah. Most unusual - obv abandoned for ages, easily accessible but not vandalised. What’s wrong with people? 😁
