Great to get out on a Sunday morning at this time of year in calm, clear and mild conditions. Lots of cyclists evidently had the same opinion!
Always plenty of Hawks, Kestrals, Kites & Buzzards to be seen on these routes in the Winter time.


Mattingley - not certain whether this was  a Buzzard or Peregrine Falcon.....not an expert

St James' - Bramley

The Vyne:  Tudor pile - All windows curtained.....must be having a Sunday lie-in.

Blue Horizon - Wootton St Lawrence - looking towards Oakley 

Rare place to cross the M3. Footbridge over to Cliddesden

 

Favoured lanes - The back roads are often the ones in the best condition - Tunworth



St Stephen's - Up Nately





Odiham High Street
