Week Ending, Saturday 13th August 2022 (34.89 Miles)

 Tuesday, 9th August 2022

22.06 miles. Misterton - Gainsborough - East Stockwith and return. Two vintage 1947 Pensioners. A sunny and hot day, 19C starting out, 25C on the return. This was meant to be a nice circular route, of about 15 miles, but, when we reached East Stockwith, there is no bridge, and, no ferry, to cross the River Trent. A passing cyclist told us, with some glee in his voice, that the next bridge was approximately 14 miles North, at Keadby, so, we retraced our route, via Gainsborough, fora 22 mile ride. Front Camera mount broke, so, video is a mixture of front camera and rear camera. 

A productive outing, Walkerith, for the "W" in the Cyclechat ABC Villages and Towns Challenge.

Kathleen, looking fresh as a daisy, little does she know what is to come.

East Stockwith, and the bridge/ferry which isn't there. We just need to be to West Stockwith, on the opposite bank of the River Trent. But, our options are, cycling 14 miles along this side, to the next bridge, then, of course, 14 miles back down, or, retrace our steps.

12.83 Miles. Fountain Hill Farm - Misterton - West Stockwith - beyond.  25c when we left, at 10:30, 31c by the time we stopped and turned back at 11:30. Two vintage 1947 pensioners. AKASO EK7000 Camera (only rear view, front mount broken). Very nice lunch at the White Hart, West Stockwith.

This is the other side of the River Trent to East Stockwith, where we cycled to on Tuesday. Although the village sign clearly shows a bridge and a ferry, neither exist!
