God bless us when we come and leave.

Wer Fleiss und Ordnung liebt,
Und geht auf Gottes Wegen
Der wird vom Gott beschützt
Hat Nahrung, Glück und Segen

Who loves diligence and order,
And walk in God's ways
He is protected by God
Has food, luck and blessings
Thanks, Graham!
9 months agoLéo I’m paying great attention to this journey because of my German heritage and long held wish to cycle tour in that area of Germany.
Admittedly my ancestors departed Germany before it was Germany and was still a loose coalition of warring states. Nevertheless I have enough German genes to make your journal extra interesting.
Happy pedalling.
I'm settled in front of my computer with an ample supply of snacks and beverages, eagerly awaiting the unfolding of another Woodland-told travel tale.
10 months agoSame here! However, I was thinking that you were going to ride our Great Divide route which had me hoping we might meet again. Oh well, maybe the next time I’m in France.
Stay safe.
Jonathan
Thanks, Graham.
10 months agoFunnily enough, I was wondering about you this week, Leo... thinking it's been a while. It's good to see you back in the saddle. Happy days, indeed.

Both, I'd imagine. I suppose that there'd have been trains and cranes in other points around the mine. They may still be there. These were signposted from the road
