My Country Walks



Welcome to my new blog following my move to the Cotswolds in early 2018.

Previously living on the edge of Dartmoor I shared details of my walks on Dartmoor on my previous blog My Dartmoor Walks. As I explore this new area I will share details of the routes here.

Tuesday 19th January 2021 - New Bike

My new bike finally arrived.  This is very different because it has an electric motor built into the rear hub. This is a challenging route for me would not have been possible without assitance from the motor. 20 miles with 2300 feet of ascent. Even with the motor on the very steep hills you are still working hard. It's  my intention to use the motor very sparingly - almost as a set of extra low gears - I'm still wanting to get a good workout. 

My route took me through Charlton Abbots, Roel Gate, Guiting Power Kineton, Temple Guiting and Hailes. A dull and windy day.  These photos were taken with my phone.
