Kudos to anyone that tried to ride the river crossing. As soon as I saw it I just started walking.

I recognise that gate - memories of a marsh come to the fore. I suppose that was one of the easy sections.

it's funny how recognisable some puddles are. Great photos and memories of a cracking ride.

Cheers George. Now I have some photos to show the kids. Sorry I didn't fall off in the river to give you a better pic!

Ha, so glad someone got a pic of "The Swimming Pool". I didn't think to put my bike over the fence next to it. Was dark when I got there and I wasn't really doing the critical thinking thing.

There was a cow stood square in the middle of it when I arrived, so bike over the fence seemed the only mooove

Ha ha I was smiling somewhere inside . . . .
Despite my ailments I found it hard to believe stus 'it's all rideable except one steep push' but then I realised he hadn't specified on what . . .
