ODO: 867
I have obviously been riding lately, but I have been ignoring my blog. There has been talk around the house of me doing a ride across Wales in the summer. I have a week I can do it in at the end of July, beginning of August. I just need a tent that is reasonable to carry, and a sleeping bag, new, frankly. I am not fond of climbing into things that other people have sweated in. It grosses me out. Anyway, I am looking at a route, and I am going to also consider other possibilities since I am going to be allowed a train fare to return on. For example, this might be a good opportunity to ride across the width of England.
Whatever the course, I do not want to go in a hurry. I want to see historical locations, and I want to take pictures along the way. We’ll see… Update you more on this later.
As for travel in the last twenty days, I have taken the boys out to Huddington Hall, and I have gone to Upton Upon Severn yesterday. The boys and I did 19 miles, and Upton Upon Severn took me some 25 or so. There have been the trips to and fro as well. Yesterday I stopped into the church at Powick and walked the yard. The cemetery is huge, and divided into two. The first part is kept, and with the old growth trees has a beauty like no other I have seen in the area. The back part of the cemetery is cut once a year, and encourages woodland animals to inhabit it. Need I say that haunting is the word best suited to that part of the cemetery?
