A classic Brownhills view that won’t have changed much since this section of canal was built in the 1840s.
Well, spring has finally come and as befits a decent bank holiday weekend, I’m out and about on my bike, hence the lower than usual posting schedule.
Yesterday I went for a bimble out to one of my favourite bits of Staffordshire – first to Lichfield on an errand, then a gorgeous evening ride to Sittles, Whitemore Haye, Catton, Rosliston, Coton, Lullington, Clifton Campville, Haunton, Syerscote, Wigginton, Hopwas, Hints, Weeford, Shenstone and home.
It really is gorgeous out there folks – do get out and enjoy it while you can. I took this gallery for the armchair cyclists to peruse.
Just a tip to fellow explorers – Syerscote Lane between Haunton and Wigginton is again gated. It’s fine to ride, and the gate is clear to open, but watch out for it if you’re not expecting it.It was always gated as a kid and I’m glad to see it so again.
For more of this sort of thing, my 365daysofbiking journal is still running…
