I was in a different part of our county today and had the camera in the jeep, so I took some pics that might interest some of you folk...This is just a scene of the farmland looking over the top of a sandpit
All you flatlanders look away now!
You see how narrow and twisty our side roads are....these roads date back centuries and have only been basically upgraded to just about accept modern traffic!
One of the many old bridges over the Newry canal. Although this canal is non working it still holds the honour of being the oldest canal in the British Isles. At this point the canal flows to the South , where I live it flows North....
Some winter wheat, looking good and well established. You will note the tramlines we use for spraying purposes. Much more suitable than GPS for our conditions. Our drills are set up to block off some spouts automatically to make these tramlines. It has the added benefit in spring sown barley where without tramlines the wheelmarks are later to ripen, with the tramlines you have no unripe crop in the wheel marks.
This is a B class road...still twisty! This is our main route to the Irish Border.
