Yesterday evening I looked at the local maps and made myself a list of street names with a plan of finding my way to the Cinder Track without going into town to get to the beginning of the track at Sainsbury's. When I walked a way along it a while ago it seemed that a lot of the access routes to the track involve steps which I cannot manage with the weight of the bike. Anyway, I found my was onto the track, parts of it are not in good order and one place was very muddy.but mostly it was okay, just made the carrier rattle a bit!

The litter receptacles in the town are all black but for some reason along the track they are painted pillar box red!

I have heard Sandy talk about Gallow's Close many times, but had no idea where it was. I still wouldn't be able to find my way there on the roads, but at least I saw the play centre there!

I went under this bridge and then consulted the map as there appeared to be an exit that wasn't steps, back on the roads I seemed to be quite high up.

This was the view before I started on my way back down to the town along the roads.

This afternoon I have been sorting through all the cracker stuff to get it ready for the craft afternoon tomorrow. I have done some instruction sheets and will also demonstrate. Just a picture on here of some of the materials.

Making crackers with 30 small children but in four separate groups. Watching the Murray brothers playing doubles in the Davis Cup final at the moment.
