My old one was very much cars and stuff. I've got some pictures
somewhere from that.

I also added an album of Blubberhouses pictures.

Joe, either you live in the middle of nowhere, or you work in the
middle of nowhere.

I can easily imagine the Wellsian Martians appearing over the horizon,
looking like Daddy Longlegs until you realize how big they are....

Nice pics, Joe!

Actually, I work somewhere and live somewhere, but there's some nowhere
in the middle. If I take a long route, I can get to work with about half
a mile on the road out of 6 or 7, the normal 4.5 mile route is half road
and half not. It's going to be great once it gets less muddy, as I've
got some nice long routes with some great coker riding on, but they're a
bit muddy right now.

Superb reply Joe, I'll have to remember that one 😄

I'm also pretty lucky in that I live in the middle of Dartmoor and work
on the edge of the moor, so I have a choice of routes available, some of
which are almost entirely off-road (and most of those are legal :eek:
)

I usually ride a bike straight down the road (fastest route) but I don't
feel comfortable riding far on the open road on a unicycle - cars
passing at 50mph freak me out a bit. The off-road routes aren't much
longer though (and certainly more enjoyable if time isn't so important),
and the ratio of road to trail is probably similar to Joe's route -
something like two miles of road in a ten mile trip, but half of that is
VERY minor roads with only the occasional tractor.

Certainly a good place to live and work if you like cycling, however
many wheels. But I'm very jealous of some of the scenery posted by the
likes of AspenMike🙁

Wow, living in Dartmoor must be super cool. My commute isn't always so
pretty, I bunged up some pictures from today to demonstrate.

Found a pic showing part of my normal unicycling route to work. This is
part of the old railway line (Yelverton to Princetown if you're
interested in that type of thing) that was closed in the 1950s. This
view is about half way between home and the bottom of the track, looking
back up (I live up on the top of the hill near the mast).

There are a few more pics of the area on my wife's website if you're
interested, at http://www.northcotts.clara.net/HelensPics - the views of
South Hessary Tor and Burator reservoir are on my alternative off-road
route round the other side of the hill. Nothing showing a unicycle I'm
afraid - don't trust myself to carry a camera in case I UPD and destroy
it (they're not mine!) Perhaps I should get myself a cheap robust
camera...

Here's the pic:

Oh, of course that pic was taken in the summer - it's a lot muddier,
mistier and altogether grimmer at the moment. I don't mind it like that
though - as long as I've got spare clothes to change into at work 🙂
