Erm. Eh? Why would anybody do that. WHY? Why take a list of text links, turn it into an image, then put an image map against it. What the hell were they thinking? :o
Someone tell Clarion - there's a Clarion sign on the same building as a winged wheel -
Hereford Worcester 1 (http://www.wingedwheels.info/wwhereworc.htm)

Also an NCU sign.
Can one purchase these things from the ctc?Actually I realise you cant cos the b&b 3 doors down from where this sign is has one of those vynil peel on stickers in its window. ???This being the one 2 boxs up from here .
The delightful Royal Oak in Penrhyndeudraeth - very doubtful it welcomes cyclists anymore. And you wouldn't want to try and enter wearing SPD sandals as the pavement is usually ankle deep in fag ends and sputum - allegedly?It was on that street that John Harwood was assaulted on the Bryan Chapman a few years ago.
On a house in Ingleton.

Should not YACF be planting its own signage in yonder spots?

CTC is trying to quietly forget the winged wheel in favour of the newer logo. However, it is being kept alive by a few stalwarts - plus if CTC wants to use its powers to erect road signs, they have to bear the winged wheel symbol.
You can get cloth badges with tee winged wheel on them - but not from CTC directly. I don't think they produce the winged wheel version of the 'Cyclists Welcome' signs/stickers any more.
What was wrong with the Winged Wheel anyways? Lovely symbol and piece of cycling history instead of the current inchoate mess?

Couldn't agree more. It's a design classic with a real heritage .

Kevin Mayne was pushing to get rid of it - but he was stymied by the fact that the CTC Winged Wheel is enshrined in statute.

It wasn't broken, so didn't need fixing.
Fair enough! But I just like the old logo better. As you say, where CTC is going is another matter

Wyndham Arms, Kingsbury Episcopi, Somerset.
Nice. Lovely lanes round there.
There is now a map! (http://www.wingedwheels.info/listings.htm)
Hours of fun planning tours ahoy! ;)
It's the Polmood Hut, it was used as the first control on the Dave Harris 200 up to a few years ago
