Holwell Reservoir photos : 14-04-2014

Not often, I am out cycling and something makes me stop and say “WOW what is the hell is that??” Well today, I found one of them places. Can’t really tell you think about it. Looked all over google. All that I can tell you, it’s called “Holwell Reservoir” also searching for “Holwell Works” and “Holwell Works Pumping House” will find some information, but mainly just photos that others have taken.

14-Apr-2014 : Second cycle looking at Old Dalby Test Track

Today I put my bike in the back of my car. Then set up to Asfordby in Leicestershire. Then I had a fun cycle around, looking parts of the Old Dalby Test Track, that I did not see last week. Still got many more parts to check out. Since the line is 13.5 miles (21.7 km) in length.

I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph, route statistics and some of the many photos I took :).
