Barr Beacon . . .

Managed to patch up my knackered inner tubes enough to get out on the bike for a few hours this afternoon.
Took a ride up to Barr Beacon, the hill that overlooks the town. The recently renovated war memorial (metal thieves and mindless vandals had taken their toll) was still looking good - lets hope the local lowlifes can keep their hands off it . . . . .
Unfortunately, since the sad demise of my Canon G12, I only had my iPhone camera with me today - I won't risk carrying my precious dSLR and its lenses in my pannier bag as I cycle on Walsall's pothole-strewn roads, lanes and tracks . . . .
