Hincaster and back

A south-southeasterly loop from home by bike during C-19.

Route: from the Close, south on Oxenholme Road and left at the traffic lights up Burton Road and then right at the Asda roundabout onto Natland Mill Beck Road but turning left almost immediately through the Beeches, onto Natland Road, and then slowly up the gentle gradient to Natland. To Sedgwick, across the A591 to Hincaster stopping to looking at the tunnel and then to Greenside turning left round the crazy new Egg Homes and back via the canal, the ridge up to Crosscrake and then right to join the A65 at Barrows Green and pedal home.

Conditions: suddenly cooler but high cloud and hints of sun.

Pub? (C-19) bottled low-alcohol cider and a can of Salt Beer Factory Calico.
