Bourne Woods in the mud. Maybe I need treaded tyres? |
Holiday at Trelyon, Rock Cornwall.
We managed a couple of afternoons out on the cycles and explored some beautiful scenery. Click the photo to see more pictures of the holiday ---->>> |
Bourne Woods |
Bourne woods again.
Exploring some of the smaller tracks |
On the way back we stopped for a cuppa and I tried to master Gab's new song. |
Bourne Woods. Enjoying the lovely bluebells. |
Bourne woods again.
By the ponds. |
Morton Fen. |
Dyke Fen. We watched amongst other things, a female Marsh Harrier hunting. |
Morton village and westwards. Some surprisingly steep hills. |
More fen tracks. This time getting a bit muddy. |
My view for a change |
It may look the same, but it was a totally different outing through Bourne Woods and surrounding villages. |
The first outing. Gill rode her mountain bike and we set off down Beech Ave. The first thing I noticed was how little effort you have to put in to go fast. So we went into Bourne Woods and did some off-road tracks too. |
I'd tried a hand-cycle at the showroom and was quoted £2200. |
|
This seemed a bit much so I had a look on Ebay. I found this smart Draft Vulcan hand-cycle, which looks a much better machine and was £700 less. So off we went to a village near Hunstanton to get it quick. While there, the seller who turned out to have a similar injury to me and also similar interests, offered me an electric clip-on front wheel for the wheelchair at the bargain price of £150. So I snapped that up too. |
