Saul Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Finally got back out with the Dear Boy today, bit wet and gloopy but still the air is fresh. We managed a 4.3 mile loop. I do enjoy a bit of beach art, I think it is because whoever did it to the time to engage with their surroundings even if it was just in a transitory way. Prolly kids, but at least they aren't on a screen for the time it took to do it. The Dear Boy know his way home Priddy primroses. We walked back up the Parade to home. Over the shoulder look back a Readymoney. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to disappoint you but that’s actually a witchcraft invocation, you have quite a lot of covens down there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Got out on the ebike this morning. It had rained overnight, but had stopped and was quite mild when we set off. Some nice backroads and tracks on this route. Bike needs a bit of a wash now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the Pyrénées to the west of us and the Black Mountains to the north. I think that they may be part of the Corbieres, but they are definitely referred to as the Black Mountains by the locals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just looked it up and they're definitely the black mountains. Apparently they're the far southwest end of the Massif Centrale. They're about a 40 minute drive from here and we sometimes head up there for some walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nice for a motorcycle ride up in mountain roads? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I found some of the roads were very small and covered in green moss, as they were under trees. I then ran into a thick bank of cloud, which wasn't so much fun. But I'm planning on heading up there and across to the Pyrénées at some point during the summer. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the new Transalp would suit the roads around here too? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
