Flying Ants Photographed at Houghton Rocks 2016

Houghton Rocks, 2016. A miserable rainy day, but cheered up by a cheery set from the Flying Ants.

"The Flying Ants (Beatles Tribute Band, 4 piece) are at The Old Sugar Loaf, Dunstable, Friday 25th Nov 2016.
Flying Ants infest the oldest venue in town. In fact, if you add up the ages of the Flying Ants, it equals the year the Old Sugar Loaf was built - or not. Use your loaf, come and join us . . . 9.30pm - 1am"

The images were taken from Theed Way. "A road known as the Thiodweg or Theed Way was first recorded in the Chalgrave Charter of 926 [HER 10843] but may have had a prehistoric genesis. It ran roughly east-west across south Bedfordshire for twelve miles, through the parishes of Leighton Buzzard (where it crossed the River Ousel at Yttingaford, or Tiddenfoot, site of a peace treaty between King Edward the Elder (899-924) and the Danes in 906), Billington, Stanbridge, Eggington, Tilsworth, Chalgrave, Houghton Regis, Toddington, Sundon and Luton where it met up with Icknield Way. The road was used to carry salt from the fens of East Anglia westward." source: http://goo.gl/5ali3P"

Some Chaps Cycle Around a Muddy Field And Get Muddy

A Cyclo Cross event took place today on the Kingsland site, in Houghton Regis. Riders traversed a 2.5km course to see how many laps they could do in an hour.

A race official said, "It was a good course. We might want to come back here. "

The event was organised at short notice when another venue had to cancel because of safety concerns. Riders travelled from all over the region, including Northamptonshire and London.
