Arrow Cycle Routes and Railways

In 2009 I decided to cycle north from Bristol on Route 41 to Gloucester. Saw Severn Beach stations and sight of sidings at Sharpness.
!n 2010 continued on to Worcester on Route 45 returning via Evesham and on Gloucs Warwick heritge line pushed by 4-6-0 7903.
Last year I continued on Route 45 to Bridgnorth via Stourport and followed path of line west from Bewdley through Wyre Forest. Later called at Arly, Highley and Hampton Loade and pulled by 92212 when took train on return.
Last week did stage four from Bridgnorth to LLangollen hauled by 42968 to Bridgnorth. Route 45 uses route ot former GWR line from Bridgnorth to Ironbridge from where I went to Shrewsbury. Next day on to Oswestry and former works of Cambrian railway and after a night at Chursk took canal bank to Llangollen. Pulled by exGWR tank 5199 to Carrog. Cycled in all about 330 miles. Wonder if any other enthusiasts have linked cycle routes with their railway interest. Let us know.
