A pleasant ride today, passing this massive structure on the way to Embleton. This is one of the largest 19th century limekilns in the country. They built it next to the railway, so that lime could be loaded directly from the kiln onto wagons, and it remained in service for about a century - until shortly after World War II.
As I settle into this loop as a fairly regular ride it seems to be getting easier. Is that because it's becoming more familiar, or because I'm getting stronger? I have no idea, but it was a pleasant afternoon, and another seventeen miles bumped my Eddington number for 2019 up by one.
