Second Hand Babies

Nottingham to Leicester by bicycle

Part 1 – Long Eaton to Mountsorrel.

The first section through Long Eaton and onto Sawley was pretty uneventful to be fair and highlights included Tesco Long Eaton and Sawley Marina. The public rights of way around the marina itself could do with some signage being installed to assist the rambler or cyclist. Eventually after wandering around a farm that unfortunately didn’t have any cows to entertainment me or be photographed, the farmers daughter directed me to the Midshires Way heading south – for some time through fields with crops knee high, which was nice when cycling on a racer.
