Me and Richard A. went out to fix an irritating problem this morning:-
This is where the Five Weirs Walk crosses Newhall Rd. It involves a couple of tight u-turns and then someone who clearly isn't a cyclist put in a barrier which necessitates another tight turn. As a result people cut the corner, which has resulted in the earth getting worn down and creating a hazard.
We went out to fix this a few weeks back with some paving stones but the ground was frozen, so we hid them in the bushes and returned this a.m.. A spot of nifty spadework soon had the ground prepared and we put the paving stones in place.
This is what it looks like now :-
Here's Richard trying it out:-
We hope this makes your journey along the Five Weirs Walk a little easier.
Further downstream we found a spawning Spacehopper:-
On the way back we stopped at La Perle Bistro & Patisserie on the Wicker (honest!)
which we can thoroughly recommend.
