Had a run out today of the two counties. No route planned but succeeded in riding 104 miles :laugh:
Started from Towcester and breakfast fuel at Jack Hills cafe on the A5.
Plenty of bikes in the carpark including this immaculate BSA
First byway at Potcote and onto the Heyfords.
Now its summer the livestock are out and the gates are closed... all seven of them :laugh:
Still good to be out on them as I hadn't ridden this particualer one in a while.
Over to Flore
Did this all the way through to Daventry and realised the helmetcam never came on so di the loop again , well it was rude not too.
Two passes through the water byway cooled me down. Looks like the RoW guys have tidied it up on the sides but there appears to more rocks in there :woohoo:
Over to Daventry
Headed over towards woodford taking in a few more byways and over to the Burton Dassett hills.
Snuck up to the turret, well no one says you can't :whistle:
Cup of tea from the van and a chat to the old boy running it then headed off home via canons Ashby and Silverstone byways in Hazelborough woods still looking resplendant with all the bluebells.
Lovely sunny day, not too hot and good to see so many bikes and classic cars out and about
have a video uploading so will attach as and when youtube pull their finger out

"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.
You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.
And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....
....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.
Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;
Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

Re: Northants/ Warwick 2nd June 2013
Nice lanes Tyrant, do you have a gpx file for your route. Never been out that way before & would like to have a go at it.
Re: Northants/ Warwick 2nd June 2013
Hi Jammin
No GPX file just know the area.

Tyrant, I know these lanes well myself. Sounds like you live near me, I am in Buckingham if you fancy some company to join you one weekend day / evening ride out.
