January 23, 2023,Riding over Bennerley Viaduct – Amazing views from viaduct Loop from Eastwood

Great ride, started near Shipley Park, plenty off road, following Erewash canal, Nottingham Canal, Nutford trail etc, few cheeky footpaths to use to create shortcuts & steps to negotiate to get up to the viaduct this would be tricky with a E Bike
