Aug 2012: Riding through Cassiobury Park

 

Cassiobury Park is a lovely little park in the north west of London

You bike next to a lovely little stream

Through woods

With tiny dams

And little clear pools

Coming up to a fork

And a tiny bridge

Yes, I do look out for the oak trees.

Looking back

I'm on the way…



Now there’s a sight for sore eyes

Looking back at the forest

The stream is really pretty

And the oak trees

You just wish you were ambling down those passageways through the forest

And looking up the stream

Another tiny bridge

A quiet little pool

An angled branch..

I wonder where the stream leads

Heading off

and another view of the forest

a little pool

With a baby dam

I emerge next to the grand union canal

What magnificent trees

Riding up next to the canal

The sign

The lock

The means to close the lock, you can see the raised brick coamings where you press against to push the lock doors close

Water is still crashing out, what a peaceful sight

Another lovely little bridge

I head off into the evening

Another brick bridge

Ok, ok, got it with the warning signs

Heading below the bridge

The steps are old old old, worn away…

What is the lady doing? some kind of gangham style?

The stairs on the other side of the lock

Looking back at the lock and bridge

Keep biking down…

Another lock

Following the path..

Peering at the stream

Looks like two eyes, eh?

And yet another lock

Crossing another bridge, the path ran over to the other side

Some interesting reflections

Its getting late

Keep on going up the canal path

This is a lovely little bridge

Moving on

I am now far beyond the park

Another lovely cute brick bridge

I wont even guess why I took this picture

Looking back at the bridge

Going up the bridge



The view over the right

Moving down

Looking back at the bridge, very interesting

An old old market


That’s it, I am now about 30 miles away from home and need to get back before it gets too dark.
