Back in August I went for a hike under and over Binevenagh, the most Northerly summit of the Sperrin Mountains. I managed to lose my way in the trees, follow a track that didn’t go where I expected, logged a geocache and tapped a trig. It was a mixed up day that I mostly enjoyed and the video is now live on YouTube 👣⛰️🎥
My 3rd week out with the Club Stabiliser Group for beginners or anyone returning to cycling after a long break. Very pleased to get through the 50km marker already and to feel my cycling legs starting to come back 🚴
Beautiful almost full moon this evening. The reflection on the lens makes me feel like I’ve travelled through a Stargate 🤣
Out for a walk earlier today and a few things struck me…
🔹 It’s bloody cold! 3°C when I started but warmed up to a balmy 7° by the time I finished.
🔹 Autumn has swept in all of a sudden. All the trees are in various stages of turning and the winds of the last few days have left leaves on all the paths.
🔹 There is a bumper crop of Rowan berries this year, way more than normal. All the hedgerows are full of berries and there are far more rowan trees around than I’ve ever really noticed before. There is an old saying that a big crop of rowan berries signifies a harsh Winter ahead. To be fair I don’t think I’d mind a hard winter of dry frosts and bright days. Much preferable to damp, dreary and mild. Not such a fan of prolonged snow and black ice though.
The one thing I love about this time of year is being able to see the sunrise and sunset in the same day. Sunrise was from the car on my way to work but sunrise was on the bike. I was treated to this beautiful view from Liscooley Bridge on my way home 😍
First time on the MTB in I don’t know how long! It’s so much harder than the road bike but I also picked a tough route with a lot of climbing! 🥵 🥵 🥵
