went for a nice few hours ride yesterday along an old railway line that goes from where i live over to St Albans.  When i got there i had a spot of lunch in the Cathedral grounds and found this cool looking wall ride.

couple of other pics from the ride  :)

what's left of the old station platform and the building is the old Dehaveland building which used to be on the BAE grounds, it's listed and couldn't be flattened (thank fook) so it's now the new magistrates court.

Looks like you had a great roll around yesterday. Nice photos.  :)

Liking the ride wall.  :) But I doubt if anyone has taken the chance in having a go. Then again.  :-\

The art deco building is a very nice piece of architecture.  :) Don't like seeing these places being pulled down.  :(

All them pics and none of the Goose :LolLolLolLol:

Whats the run up like to the wall ride?

The art deco building reminds me of the Hoover Building. Bet it looked grand with the fountain going.
