The Yorkshire Dales. The coast. A foreign country. Often when I squeeze my eyes shut and try to conjure images of beautiful scenery or rolling landscapes, I think of anywhere but home. I need to remind myself this doesn't have to be the case. Recently I decided to try a new cycling route and was surprised by what I could find on my doorstep. The following image is just a stone's throw from home; not 5 miles away.

The weather really has been spectacular recently and is set to continue for at least the next couple of weeks. The birds are singing and Yorkshire is in bloom. I love it! The picture below is taken from Buckstones car park. Just off the beaten track is a cracking location for an afternoon picnic... Watch this space!

Geography may not be one of my stronger subjects, but that doesn't mean I don't want to learn about how this landscape came to be. I'm sure an understanding will only add to the appreciation for such a place.

These two beauties will be transporting us around the french countryside this summer and will be returning with a fair number of miles on them. An interesting point as stated by Wikipedia,
The bicycle is extraordinarily efficient in both biological and mechanical terms.

| One of the best modes of transport. Ever. |
