Continuing my Inverness road trip (or ride on the "Inverness Trail") north mostly I made my way to Appleby Road. I took some misc. house photos of some of the houses that I thought looked really nice to give you a feel for the neighborhood. I always thought this house (on Appleby) was beautiful (although you can't see that much of it in the photo).
I believe that this is Plymouth Drive coming up to Plymouth Court... (sorry some of my pictures got out of order, but I think this is correct...). Recently I've extended my rides just a little by taking a left on Peasant Trail (west) and crossing Firth then coming back to Appleby.
There is a fairly steep hill (down) as you head north on Plymouth Drive. There is a creek at the bottom of the hill and you need to take a right which goes back up hill again.
This is the corner of Durham and Plymouth, coming up to Firth. This is where I turn around if I am doing my short ride since you need to cross Palatine Road in about a block (the photos below) to continue.
Here's Firth, just before Palatine Road. This is where you must cross Palatine Road to get to the northern sections of the trip. Use caution here. Palatine road is a major highway and there is usually a lot of traffic. The good news is that there is a little bit of a shoulder and it is less than a tenth of a mile that you have to do on Palatine Road.
Here is the stop sign at Firth and Palatine. Someone labeled this "Deadmans Turn" as you can see from the photo... I guess that might indicate that you may want to use a little extra caution here... :-) Anyway you go right on Palatine and cross over to the first street on the left (Dewey).
Here's the photo tour of the Inverness Trail, from South Park, in Inverness (going north) to Blackburn on the northern end of Inverness (May, 2005).
