Amen Corner – BrownhillsBob's #365daysofbiking

December 31st – At last, a decent if rain-sodden ride. Going stir crazy on a wet New Year’s eve, I slipped out at 3pm determined to test the loan cameras on something decent. Instinct had me head for Hopwas Hays Wood near Tamworth.

Both cameras are excellent. At the moment, the GX7 has the edge but the user interface is bizarre to me. I’ve never had much joy with Canon kit before, but this was a revelation.

I didn’t use flash once, just the bike headlight. I’m quite pleased with these.

Oh, and happy new year!

May 5th – Some wag has named the infamous junction in Little Hay. I get the joke. So many near misses at this vicious blind junction, all you can do is pray.

I love the British sense of humour.
