Caldwell and Linton

                  Bright sunshine and a cool autumnal wind accompanied me when I decided to go exploring on my bike.  I took a flask of coffee and a sandwich in case and headed off to Caldwell, a small village I'd spotted on the map as being not too far out but far enough for a good explore.  I headed off down Newhall Road, turning left at the traffic lights and having got up the hill, made a right at the roundabout turning onto Caldwell road.
                 The wind was strong and I was glad for my long trousers and gloves.  I laboured against the wind before making the left turn to Caldwell.  A lovely narrow road, I cycled all the way up and stopped to admire the view over the fields and get my breath back.
                Down the hill for a bit and then I arrived at Caldwell where I took a left to Linton.  I did not dare stop in case my little legs would not start up again. The village looks lovely and I'll come back and explore it properly when I'm a bit fitter.  More labouring up the hill toward Linton.  Beautiful views over the hedgerows.
                At last, going downhill through Linton.  I pass the Square and Anchor, once a pub, now an antique shop and tea room.  Looks great and worth a proper look I think as I sweep past.
                Back then along the A444 and Newhall road to home.   Walking up the hills for a bit as my little legs are tired.
