2 June 2013: Combe Down Tunnel and Tucking Mill

SUNDAY
The field of fragrant wild garlic. Bike path leaving to the tunnel.
Combe Down Tunnel. Britain's longest cycling tunnel (just over 1 mile). keep left. keep slow. keep moving.
Light at the end of the tunnel.
Tucking Mill reservoir, a catch and release pond for disabled anglers.
The reservoir is constructed on the former site of a lake geologist, William Smith, built in the early 19th century. There are some fish swimming around.
William Smith, "Father of English Geology," lived in the hamlet of Tucking Mill from 1798 to 1810.
Sun setting across the field.
