Mike standing in for Bernard to lead us up the hill where Bernard is waiting
We start in the Ship Inn CP next to a mobile Post Office
Our route takes us past the old Brimscombe Port buildings
Once an old mill with a mill pond
And other aquatic features
Following the line of the old canal
101 things to do with an old bike - no. 98
No. 99
Now on the banks of the Frome
And at Noah's bikes of all shapes and sizes
Nice to have some help when you get a bit behind
Still by the Frome
The new housing development
Making a bit of a mess of this valley
Heading up Knapp Hill
With views down to the Bourne
And over to Brownshill
Where cats should be - in a cage
Reaching Hyde
Where Bernard takes the lead
After giving us a brief introduction
And we set of round the horse paddocks belonging to Hyde Riding School
Reaching Besbury Common we have views down to Stroud
Chance for a rest
Before continuing along the Common
A deer spotted across the field
And a fairy grotto in a tree
Nice road sign
Looks like the animals have gone the wrong way
The road goes under a bridge
Continuing downhill back to the pub
