Icy winter sun local ride along two of Co Durham's old railway lines

 


Finally some sunshine here in County Durham for a change. With an overnight frost again there was plenty of ice on the windscreens in the morning. I decided on a short local loop taking in two of Durham's old railway lines and a couple of short interlinking road sections. The section of track at the Bransden Den at Brandon is completing today but they are moving further along to the wooded section to the left of the fields at Meadowfield then once that section is finished they are moving to the next wooded section to the right of the top field of the sports centre. So there will be plenty of diversions to do which are not signposted lol. The front brake is slightly better but no where near 100% quiet. 
Below are a few sunny / chilly snaps from the loop, enjoy and hopefully more soon - 








The path at the bottom of field dropping into Bishop has been tarmaced right from the carpark area 

and all the existing tarmac path has been made wider, god know why it was wide enough
