26miles

 

Grand ride against a gale of wind, could just scrawl down hill.  Hy (Harry) however went along at a fearful pace. 

We made a beautiful mistake when looking at map, imagined the road went through Clayton, when we got there, had to slope across to the Whitmore road by a sweet stony lane.  When we got to the crossroads Henry was despairing, however, we struggled on to Ashley. 

Had a feed, and an admiring look at Siggin’s Sacred Monkey. 

Then blackberries for desert.  Harry one-legged it for some distance returning.

(Rode with Charlie and with Harry.)

Total journeys 6.  Total miles 163.
