Yesterday me and Jane had a ride though to Bishop Auckland mainly along the old railway lines from Brandon. We turned left at the Brans Den pub on the way out and went down to the viaduct, Croxdale, Spennymoor then picked up the line to Bishop. Once we were at Bishop we had a cuppa and buttie / tea cake in the café before heading over the viaduct to pick up the line back to Brandon. We stopped off at Willington to pop into the Coop for some shopping as I had my back pack on. It was a strong headwind on the way out and it was real cold. The lines were quiet and we had a massive tail wind on the way back with the temperature rising from 2.8 degrees to 7.4 degrees at one point! The lines were mainly dry but the single track sections were wet and very muddy. The short couple of road sections were busy with cars / traffic as well. I took the Mason with the 650b wheelset on and Jane was on her Scott Scale Contessa.
Below are a few overcast / cloudy / cold looking snaps/ I think the cold must have affected the camera or its on its last legs as most of them came out very blurred. Hopefully more soon -
