Isobel's on one of the old airfield perimeter roads
An Alternate Reality, and the BSCC in Harleston, Norfolk - 6th August 2026
After we drop Harry off at Karate, we decide to have a walk around the new housing estate behind Millfield and Haygate, partly to see what happened to the old Mill Allotment path, which had been cut off for quite a while as the estate was being built. And it's quite interesting in that odd way that new-build estates have, which are part Stepford Wives and part alternate reality, or even some sort of Heizenberg construct: both alive and dead at the same time, as whilst most houses are apparently occupied, there's no-one around. The next day, the BSCC is off again on a Thursday ride, this time to Ampersand's original pub in Harleston - The Cap - formerly known as the Cardinal's Hat. Finally, on Saturday, there's a lot of activity at Diss Fire Station, which turns out to be some sort of charity motorbike ride, with hundreds of bikes coming and going in various waves.

The old Mill Allotment path has been cut off
Another airfield perimeter road
The strange world of a new housing estate
On St. Vincent Gardens, in the new estate
There are some vague attempts at landscaping
A new road of bungalows is under construction
There's an outdoor artwork by the Rettery
Fred and Phil at the bar of The Cap in Harleston
Fred scores some pizza from the horsebox van
The horsebox pizza van in the pub car park
The former Cardinal's Hat has a Lacon's sign
The car park of Ampersand's The Cap
We head off through Harleston
Going the wrong way up a one-way street
We cycle past a very purple shop
There's time for another pint at the Oaksmere
The fire engines are out at Diss
A blood-donor bike heads up a line of bikes
Motorbikes turn into the fire station
Bikes by a fire engine
A load of bikes by the fire station
Round the back of the fire station
The K6 phonebox in Palgrave is being restored
