Old Gits Day 21

Tuesday morning, out with the gang.  Going out to Banwell , Winscombe and the normal route to Caffles, the watering hole.  My self and one other, diverted off the normal route to cut out a fairly steep hill leading out of Banwell,

Road closure.

The alternative route we took went through Banwell and left out on the River Road to Puxton.  This is actually closed at the moment for workmen to lay a digital internet cable along the length of this quiet country road. The first hurdle was this big cable drum feeding into a long predigestion trench.  Had to get off here and walk round after a bit of banter with the cable layers.

And more

The second hurdle we had to walk round was the machine cutting the long thin trench.  No problem.  A car driver we met a short time later had ignored the road closed sign and asked us if he could get through.  He soon turned round after we explained what the position was  and we carried on to Caffles for tea and toast. Returned home, in bright, warm, sunshine  via the normal back lanes to town

Good 23 miles  today, enjoyed that.
