Stefan and Björn on the road again.

Today’s adventure were on a smaller scale than the last, when we are moored at the heavy Lift quay we do not see to far. So today we settled for the antennas that we could see at the closest peak. As usual the backpack was filled with tools, drink and food.

We set of via ASDA that would lead us to the road I had found on the map, just cross town and as the road started going uphill we came to a cycle/footpath that were separated from the road and very idyllic.

After a few hundred meters the path ended and we were at some industrial compound, took to the left and the single trails began, we started with one that looked as it went straight up the mountain, and it was really hard work, lowest gear standing pedalling….

DCIM100GOPROThe trail up to the antenna site was very wide and offered no resistance.

As it was quite windy we continued past the top and entered a field with sheep. Were the field met the woods we found lee and had a really nice break in the sun, overlooking the Roseberry Topping from our last adventure.

After we moved on we found a way down from the mountain which of course  was to fast, the hard earned height meters just ticked away and we had to follow a path along the base of the mountain.DCIM100GOPRO
