Mark and myself had a great day at the Great Central Railway. We parked the car at Rothley Station, then got the train to Loughborough Central, then another train to Quorn & Woodhouse Station. Then walked back to Rothley Station with Cooper :).

So had a great bank holiday weekend. Done two heritage railways. North Yorkshire Moors Railway yesterday and Great Central Railway today. Now to think what line(s) we will do during the next bank holiday weekend :).

Today Mark and myself went to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. I have done the line before, but not since I was maybe 14. If not younger. So very glad, that at long last I have done it again!

Here are some photos from the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. I will post photos of the rail trail walk between Goathland and Grosmont later…

Today Mark and myself set off to the Monsal Trail yet again! This time we parked at (Topley Pike layby on the A6) then walked down 1 in 5 hill to the start/end of the Monsal Trail at Wyedale. We then walked a good 7 miles to the Headstone Viaduct. Which of course did meant we had to walk the whole way back again! We did really notice that 1 in 5 whole walking back up to to the car!

I will now leave you with some of the many photos I took!

The Cyprus 2013 holiday

blog Travel 1 Comment

I must say the holiday I just had in Paphos, Cyprus was amazing. After going last year I was a bit worried it would not live up to that holiday. But it did.

Can’t really compare the two. Since last year I went to Cyprus for my older bothers Wedding. This year we all went for a family holiday.

This time I got to see much more if the island. Last time we only stayed close to the apartment. This time we went on a boat cruise. And a bus tour of the Troodos Mountains.

The tour up the Troodos Mountains was really the highlight of the whole holiday. Just was a had access to a bike while in Cyprus. The Troodos Mountains would have been so much to cycle around.

Only bad thing about the holiday. I did not have any gear with me. Only had some lycra underwear. Which is just not the same. Really can’t wait to get fully back in my full lycra cycling gear and out on the bike!

Oh, I will post more about my holiday soon. I did this update while flying back from Cyprus. Then posted it when I landed back in UK.
