"Bug Splatting Time...."

17 05 10 - 20:39 (to be sung in the style of The Clash's 'Drug Stabbing Time'. At least, that's what I was doing on my way home, but then my mind wanders in mysterious ways sometimes)

It's felt like a long cold winter, but there's signs of summertime in the air - quite literally if like me your commute involves a lot of country lanes close to rivers.

Bug Splatting Time

These photos were taken near Weston-on-Trent, on an unsealed minor road leading down towards the River Trent.

Green Lane

Before it gets there, it also crosses the Trent & Mersey Canal, by what I presume would once have been a lock-keeper's house. Looked like a nice place to live.

» driverchris Graphic designer, bike and car nut, and vague acquaintance through the PB forum. I enjoy dipping into his blog from time to time, and this is a particularly cool post - classy interpretations of motorsport paint schemes, applied via the medium of Photoshop to a Fender Strat. Can you guess them all?

» Lois on the loose Stumbled across the name Lois Pryce via the ADVrider forums. Have just finished reading her first book, detailing her ride from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego on an XT225 Serow.

» Old man on a bike The print version of this got dropped on my desk at work by a colleague. 73 year old man rides from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego on a CG125. Hooray for daft adventures.
