The National Cycle Network (NCN) was officially opened in June 2000. Was established to encourage cycling throughout Britain, as well as for the purposes of bicycle touring.
National Cycle Network Route 1 DOVER – SHETLAND, along the east coast, via London, Edinburgh, John o' Groats and Orkney.
MILLENNIUM TIME TRIAL
The puzzle consists of a set of coded disks placed on one thousand “Millennium Mileposts” made from cast iron. These were funded by the Royal Bank of Scotland to mark the creation of the National Cycle Network, and are distributed along the NCN routes throughout the UK. They’re designed to mark the way rather like mediaeval stone crosses. There are 50 or so unique disks, and copies are placed in every region of the network.
Here’s a poem by the Time Trail’s designer, Charlie Harrow, by way of introduction:
Around the kingdom and across the seas
Stand mileposts of iron with symbols to tease.
It’s no race against time, our TIME TRAIL quest,
With Treasures for all who succeed in the test.
Made neither from silver, diamonds nor gold,
But elements, common and ancient and old.
Either by foot or your bike wheels spinning,
Finding time to find Time is just the beginning.
Brass rub the designs of triangles and squares,
And pentagons too, with a few other spares.
Claim Treasures to solidify time well spent,
perhaps, what Time actually meant.
Please remember to bring TWEEZERS and something to write with. Thanks
