Ken and Kathleen Cycling Diary

Saturday, 4th March 2024 12.69 miles. Waterpump CL - Badingham - Bruisyard -Framlington - Waterpump CL.   Our first bicycle ride for some months. A quiet start, around Badingham Village, then on to Framlington, much of it on a section of NCN1. A pleasant lunch in Framlington, at what appears to be Avery popular bakers shop come cafe. A little "essential" shopping (milk, and, an easy ready meal for this evening), before we take the "short" route back to the WaterpumpCL, mostly via the B1120. A final stop for refreshments at The White Horse, Badingham. I notice, for some reason, almost every pub is called The White Horse!

  Sunday, 1st May 2022 9.64 Miles. Barn Owl Meadow CL - Wattisfield - Walsham - Barn Owl Meadow CL. Cloudy, mild 13C, and calm. Our target was to ride to Ixworth, but, the nicely signposted, and reasonable quality, cycle route petered out just short of Wattisfield, and, joined the busy A143. Since we don't have a death wish, we cut it short at Wattisfield and returned via Walsham-le-Willows. Video incomplete, I forgot to charge camera battery! St Margaret's Church, Wattisfield. Monday, 2nd May 2022  8.49 Miles. Barn Owl Meadows CL -  Rickinghall - Barn Owl Meadow CL. Cloudy, calm, humid and 14C. Saturday, 7th May 2022 16.36 miles. Boldon Colliery - Jarrow - Washington - Boldon Colliery.  Dull, for most of the time, even a few spots of rain, cool (12C), but calm.

  Sunday, 24th April 2022 3.47 miles. A very short ride, into Ludham, St Catherine's , for one of the vintage 1947 Pensioners, church attendance.  The wind from the North East is even stronger, and colder today! I amuse myself with a few Church/Church Yard photographs, whilst waiting. Monday, 25th April 2022 8.92 Miles. Ludham Bridge - Horning - Ludham - Ludham Bridge. Dull and cloudy, even a brief shower of rain. Not a terribly successful outing. Route (from Cycle.travel) included a ferry at Horning, but, when we got there, ferry only runs at weekends at this time of year! Cobbled together a ride, taking in St Benedicts Church, and a shopping trip to. Ludham Village.  Wednesday, 27th April 2022 11.33 miles. Walsham-Le-Willows. Exploring the area around Barn Owl Meadow CL, looking for a shop (unsuccessfully). Cloudy and cool, 10C, but, calm. Only rear view video, because, I forgot to press record on the front view! Thursday, 28th April 2022 10.12 miles. Barn Owl Meadow - Ricking

  Wednesday, 23rd February 2022. 10.36 miles. Polstead CCC - Hadliegh - Lower Layham - Polstead CCC. Our first ride of 2022, (due to inclement weather so far). Dry, sunny, and 10C. Video incomplete, Camera battery has obviously. partially discharged during our lay-off, and, date on video is out by one day, not sure how that happened! Saturday, 26th February 2022 12.84 Miles. Boldon Colliery - Jarrow - Washington - Boldon Colliery. Bright and sunny, but, with a stiff and very cold breeze. We get to use the new cycle/pedestrian bridge over the A19, finished at last.
