Don't vote Matti: the scenery is better than the bike.

Is that along the old Bradpole to Maiden Newton railway line? I tried following it one day and ended up somewhere I was probably not supposed to be, I hope Sustrans manage to get the whole thing open eventually.

Nope, that is the shores of the mighty St Lawrence River, Canadian side, my happy place. Specifically, Mille Roches, a small campsite in a group of islands created when they built a hydroelectric dam in the 50s. Been enjoying it since childhood, I'll be back again with a better (and older) bike this summer.

OOPS wrong photo, I was looking at the one directly above your post that says Powerstock Common.

It is! I think some work was being done along it not long into this year.

I have just spoken to a friend who was the negotator for Sustrans on this route and he told much of the route to Toller Porcorum is now open to cycles and the rest following soon with just one landowner on the final stretch to Maiden who has not given permission.
