Started snowing about 3ish so grabbed the cross bike and headed up to Rivington Pike for a bit of a play 🙂 Much tea and toast now being consumed.

Some cracking photos there.

I went out for a little exploring, ventured down a bridleway near my house for the first time. Bit boggy and a few low branches here and there but not bad for a quick 5 mile loop.

Found a nice old disused railway bridge-

Less than 2 miles from my house, probably about 1 mile as the crow flies.
