Aug 2012: Riding through Cassiobury Park

 

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

You bike next to a lovely little stream

Photobucket

Through woods

Photobucket

With tiny dams

Photobucket

And little clear pools

Photobucket

Coming up to a fork

Photobucket

And a tiny bridge

Photobucket

Yes, I do look out for the oak trees.

Photobucket

Looking back

Photobucket

I'm on the way…

Photobucket

Now there’s a sight for sore eyes

Photobucket

Looking back at the forest

Photobucket

The stream is really pretty

Photobucket

And the oak trees

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

Photobucket

And looking up the stream



Photobucket

Another tiny bridge

Photobucket

A quiet little pool

Photobucket

An angled branch..

Photobucket

I wonder where the stream leads

Photobucket

Heading off

Photobucket

and another view of the forest

Photobucket

a little pool

Photobucket

With a baby dam

Photobucket

I emerge next to the grand union canal

Photobucket

What magnificent trees

Photobucket

Riding up next to the canal

Photobucket

The sign

Photobucket

The lock

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

Water is still crashing out, what a peaceful sight

Photobucket

Another lovely little bridge

Photobucket

I head off into the evening

Photobucket

Another brick bridge

Photobucket

Photobucket

Ok, ok, got it with the warning signs

Photobucket

Heading below the bridge

Photobucket

The steps are old old old, worn away…

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

The stairs on the other side of the lock

Photobucket

Looking back at the lock and bridge

Photobucket

Keep biking down…

Photobucket

Another lock

Photobucket

Following the path..

Photobucket

Peering at the stream

Photobucket

Looks like two eyes, eh?

Photobucket

And yet another lock

Photobucket

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

Photobucket

Some interesting reflections

Photobucket

Its getting late

Photobucket

Keep on going up the canal path

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

This is a lovely little bridge

Photobucket

Moving on

Photobucket

I am now far beyond the park

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Another lovely cute brick bridge

Photobucket

I wont even guess why I took this picture

Photobucket

Looking back at the bridge

Photobucket

Going up the bridge

Photobucket

The view over the right

Photobucket

Left

Photobucket

Moving down

Photobucket

Looking back at the bridge, very interesting

Photobucket

An old old market

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