Cycling in beautiful Shropshire

A very personal set of images. Every Easter since 1997 I have spent a week cycling around Bishop's Castle and Shropshire with my friends Rob and Kathy. Being out all day and every day in the myriad of small and quiet lanes is the perfect antidote to modern life. Hardly any other people, no cars and some good teashops make for very relaxing times. Images shot between 5th & 13th April 2007.
