Old Haunts - The Way Home

[asharin]

Not a rideout as such, only insofar as I rode my bike to get there!

I've decided to go for walks every day, so as to lose some of the weight I put on since I quit smoking last year, today i decided to ride up to my mums house and go for a walk along the route I used to take if I went into town (Highcliffe)

As my mum lives out in the sticks, it was alwas a nice little walk..As I haven't been that was for some time, there have been a few changes

Not that anyone really cares about my nostalgia, but I thought I'd post the pics I took with my camera phone.

This road leads to a graveyward, where my Gran is buried.

This road would take you over the railway bridge to Walkford.
