Wandering around Weston. 12

16 degrees.  Cant be good.  Hope we are not going to pay for this later.   Not had a bad week this week but one more won't hurt.  Just going to stay mainly on the flat with a couple of railway lines to cross over but they are no problem now.  Went out to Worle and slightly beyond and returned via an alternative route using. mainly cycle paths.

Level crossing.

Just past Worle Railway Station is a level crossing and when I arrived there the red lights were flashing indicating a train was due.  Just had time to get the camera out, park the bike and woosh, it was through.  It was going a fair old lick so must have been one of GWRs that hadn't stopped at Worle.  Had to rescue the bike immediately it had gone by otherwise the bike would have been 30 feet up in the air when the barrier lifted.

Spring is not far away

Using the cycle track alongside the busy A370, noticed some of the hawthorn bushes in the hedgerows were quite advanced with their leaf growth.  Now that is a good sign.

Nice one today. Just over twelve miles, just need to improve the average now, 8.8 mph is a bit slow really.
